CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky confirmed Musa is leaving the club to move to England.
Leicester has reportedly agreed terms with both Musa and the Russian club, and the English champions has listed him among players to feature in the colours of The Foxes in the Premier League for the upcoming season.
Leicester were linked with a move for the speedy Nigeria winger in January but he has since also been rumoured to be on his way to West Ham and Southampton.
“He’ll be leaving Tuesday,” Slutsky told Russian media on Sunday. “And if you look at the way things are done over there you’ll see he is a player just made for English football.”
Musa has been playing in Moscow since 2012 and he enjoyed his most prolific season in front of goal in 2015-16, scoring 13 goals in 29 Russian Premier League outings. He has joined the likes of Odion Ighalo, Captain Mikel Obi and hosts of other Super Eagles players that ply their trade in England.
However, Claudio Ranieri has been busy in the transfer market since Leicester won the Premier League for the first time in May. On Sunday Leicester confirmed the arrival of French midfielder Nampalys Mendy, and they have also signed striker Raul Uche Rubio, centre-back Luis Hernandez and goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler, as well as persuading Jamie Vardy to stay.
Meanwhile, Ranieri has also been linked with an interest in Wales forward Hal Robson-Kanu, a free agent after he was released by Reading at the end of last season.
