Premier League champions Leicester City have agreed a deal with CSKA Moscow to sign Nigeria forward Ahmed Musa, the player’s agent disclosed on Monday.
The 23-year-old, who joined CSKA in 2012 and scored 54 goals in 168 games, is set to sign for a club record fee at the Foxes.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Leicester City stunned all last season on their way to the English title.
“Everything has been finalised and Musa will be in England for his medical on Wednesday,’’ his agent, Tony Harris, said.
It was learnt that Musa had earlier turned down offers from Southampton, Everton and West Ham.
CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky admitted the Nigerian, who can play as winger or striker, is on his way out of the club.
“He’ll be leaving on Tuesday,’’ Slutsky told the Russian media.
“If you look at the way things are done over there, you’ll see he is a player just made for English football.’’
