English champions Leicester City are set to break their record
transfer fee for the second time in a matter of days by buying Nigerian
international attacking midfielder Ahmed Musa, his agent
told the BBC on Monday.
The 23-year-old, who scored a brace for Nigeria in a 3-2 defeat of
Lionel Messi's Argentina at the 2014 World Cup, will see his present
side Russian outfit CSKA Moscow receive £16.6 million (S$29.7 million) -
a record outlay for Leicester.
"Everything has been finalised and Musa will be in England for his
medical on Wednesday," Musa's agent Tony Harris told BBC Sport.
Musa's soon to be former coach Leonid Slutsky said the Nigerian - who
scored 53 goals in 161 matches for CSKA since joining them in 2012 -
would be ideal for the Premier League.
"If you look at the way things are done over there you'll see he is a player just made for English football," Slutsky said.
According to the BBC, Musa rejected the advances of Leicester's rivals Southampton, Everton and West Ham.
Na better news be this for fans of Super Eagles player Ahmed Musa, as dem go dey see their idol for English Premier League from next season once this deal go through. This one wey be say Leicester wan break transfer record untop the matter, hope say Musa go repay dem sharpaly by playing well..
