Leicester City has completed the signing of Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow for a reported fee of £16 million, subject to Football Association and Premier League approval.
The Nigerian forward was subject to interest from the Premier League champion since the winter transfer window, and has now finally put pen to paper on a four-year contract in Leicester.

"I joined because it's one of the best clubs in the Premier League and they are like a family," he told the club website. "That's why I joined Leicester City and I'm very excited.
"I look forward to seeing the fans in the new season and I will do my best to make them happy."
Musa attracted widespread attention through his efforts in the Champions League with CSKA. His ability to expose defences with his devastating pace both on the flanks and when leading the strikeforce caught out numerous clubs on the continent, and he replicated that form in the Russian Premier League with 13 goals and five assists en route to last season's title win.

He becomes the fifth Leicester signing of the transfer window as Claudio Ranieri undergoes preparations for his side's top-spot defence. Nampalys Mendy, Ron-Robert Zieler, Luis Hernandez, and Raul Uche Rubio are already on the books in the east Midlands.
