He&#8217;s quick, good with his feet, strong physically and a great goalscoring record, all of which means we believe he can fit well into the way we play and develop his game by benefitting from playing Championship football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a good relationship with Leicester City,&#8221; Ainsworth added. &#8220;I&#8217;d like to thank them for allowing us to bring Admiral here, and also to Rob Couhig and the board for making it possible. We have a few targets that we&#8217;re chasing and we really believe that we&#8217;re not far off having a side that can win enough points to keep us in the division.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Muskwe will wear the number 15 shirt during his stay at Wycombe.
