Ahmed Musa Completes Leicester Move, Set To Depart CSKA Tuesday

Super Eagles vice-captain, Ahmed Musa has completed his dream move to Premier League champions, Leicester City, as he departs Russian club CSKA Moscow for England on Tuesday.

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.

Hours after former captain Joseph Yobo called on the new generation of Super Eagles to “rise to the occasion and lift the Super Eagles to new levels,” a relatively young Nigerian team gifted with a sense of urgency, purpose and craftsmanship pipped Les Aigles of Mali 1-0 in an exciting international friendly in Rouen on Friday.

Without skipper John Mikel Obi and his assistant, Ahmed Musa who were released to be part of Yobo’s testimonial match in Port Harcourt, the Eagles were expected to struggle at the Stade Robert Diochon. But the young team fought well and in a pragmatic manner and could have won by a wider margin.
