Leicester complete Musa signing

Leicester City have completed the signing of attacker Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow on a four-year contract.

Claudio Ranieri’s side confirmed on Friday that they have finalised their move for the Nigeria international, pending FA and Premier League approval.

Musa, 23, has reportedly cost Leicester a club-record fee of around £16million.

“I feel very happy joining Leicester City, for me it is one of the best clubs and I feel very happy,” Musa told the club’s official website.

“I joined because it is one of the best clubs in the Premier League and they are like a family. That is why I joined Leicester City and I am very excited.

“I look forward to seeing the fans in the new season and I will do my best to make them happy.”
