CSKA Moscow have played down reports linking them with a move for Nigeria international Olarenwaju Kayode in the summer transfer window.

Allnigeriasoccer.com exclusively reported this week that the Austria Vienna striker was among the Nigerian stars scouted by a representative of the Army Men during the friendly between the Super Eagles and Senegal at the Hive Stadium on March 23.

''Kayode really belongs to the extended transfer list of CSKA, but we do not negotiate with him at the moment,''
general director of CSKA Roman Babaev said to championat.com.

''This is only one name from a fairly large list. But this does not mean that we are going to part with someone from the current attackers.''

Kayode is tied into a deal at Austria Vienna until June 30, 2019.
