“And if you look at the way things are done over there you’ll see he is a player just made for English football,” CSKA coach Leonid Slutsky told Russian media earlier this week.

Musa first played for Nigeria in 2010 in a fixture against Madagascar. He has since gone on to score 11 times in 58 appearances for the Super Eagles.

He joins Leicester City’s African players like Algerian Riyad Mahrez and Ghanaian duo Daniel Amartey and Jefferey Schlupp.
