Leicester Officials Visit Russia For Super Eagles Star, Musa

League leaders, Leicester City is so serious about having Super Eagles captain and CSKA Moscow forward, Ahmed Musa playing for it that it has sent officials to speak with his Russian club.

According to reports in Daily Express UK, Leicester will make an £18million bid for Musa this summer in the hope that they can beat Arsenal and Manchester United to the striker.

Musa, 23, was reportedly targeted by Leicester back in January but no deal was agreed.

Representatives of Leicester were said to have travelled to Russia last week to discuss an offer for the Nigeria international.

The Red Devils, who are said to be also interested, have assessed his performances in Russia and in the Champions League, where he played against United in both legs of their group clash last autumn.

However, the Nigeria international only has eyes for Arsenal.

“I would be happy if I was wanted by Arsenal,” Musa explained late last week. “I have supported the team since the age of six.

“Nwankwo Kanu has been my idol since childhood. It will be fantastic to play for Arsenal.”
