Why CSKA Must Complete Signing Of Musa In Next 48 Hours Despite Window Closing Feb 22

Published: January 29, 2018

CSKA Moscow are racing against the clock to complete the signing of Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa before the close of the transfer window in England.

The Muscovites face Red Star Belgrade in the round of 32 of the Europa League, with the first leg scheduled to take place at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Beograd) on February 13.

The Nigeria international can participate in that match but his name must be added to CSKA Moscow's roster by midnight on February 1, 2018, meaning the Russian club have around two days to get the paperwork in place.

Musa's intermediary Tony Harris recently stated that he expects his client to undergo a medical today, Monday, ahead of a loan move.

The Russian transfer window 2 will remain open for business until February 22 after the UEFA deadline.

Musa played two matches for CSKA Moscow in the Europa League in his first spell with the capital outfit, against AIK Solna back in the 2012-2013 season.

The Super Eagles star has made only one appearance for the first team of Leicester City this term.
