Musa keen on Leicester City move

Super Eagles assistant captain, Ahmed Musa, has expressed desire to join newly crowned English champions Leicester City.

Musa who scored 13 goals in 30 games in the Russian league this season is being linked with a bid of around €30 million to Leicester said he expects an agreement would be reached with his club with CSKA Moscow.

“They have been talking since January, but it didn’t happen,” he said. “Now, I’m just waiting for them to finish. If they agree, why not? I’ll be happy to join,” he told ESPN.

Musa has been excused from Nigeria’s friendlies with Mali and Luxembourg to take part in a testimonial game for former Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo, and he paid tribute to his ex-teammate.

“Yobo is a great guy,” he added. “And the fact that so many players are here from different generations of Nigerian football, shows the kind of person he is.”
