CSKA Moscow Confirm Transfer Of Ahmed Musa To Leicester City

CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky has confirmed that Ahmed Musa will travel to England in the next 48 hours to complete his move to Leicester City.

The 23-year-old is presently with the Muscovites at their training camp but did not take part in Sunday’s scrimmage against FC Yenisey Krasnoyarsk, fueling speculation that a move is in the offing.

“Flies on Tuesday, the move is to the champion of the Premier League, ” Leonid Slutsky told Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta .

The Russian champions have started planning for life without their Nigerian forward and hope to complete the signing of a foreign player in the coming days.

“Soon a good striker will come to CSKA,  a foreigner. I am not going to call the surname, I think it will be announced next week, ” added Slutsky.

The same source has reported that the Army Men will pocket $21 million for agreeing to shred their agreement with Musa before its expiration.
