“CSKA are in talks with two clubs from the English Premier League Leicester City and Tottenham,” a source confirmed from Russia.
It has been reported that Leicester City are willing to splash €30 million to sign the pacy striker from the Muscovites, while Tottenham Hotspur have made a bid in the region of €25 million.
“For Ahmed it is a priority to transfer to the London team. However, in this situation, not everything will depend on the willingness of the player.
“Naturally, that CSKA want to make money by selling the player for as much money as possible, and at the moment the offer from Leicester City is € 30 million which is higher than Tottenham’s € 25 million.”
It has now been suggested that the White Hart Lane outfit will have to increase their offer before landing the signature of Ahmed Musa.
“It is not known whether Spurs will increase their bid. Nevertheless, we can say with full confidence that Ahmed will be in one of the English clubs next season,” the source added.
Ahmed Musa has netted 51 goals(28 assists) in 161 matches since he joined CSKA Moscow from VVV Venlo in January 2012 for five million euros which now seems like a bargain, given that their profit on investment could be as high as 400 percent.
As thing stand, if Musa should sign for one of the English teams, he will break the record currently held by his skipper in the national team John Obi Mikel.
Now 29, Mikel joined Chelsea in 2006 from Lyn Oslo, with the London club paying total transfer fees of 20 million euros.
