Premier League champions Leicester City have agreed a deal with CSKA Moscow to sign Nigeria forward Ahmed Musa, according to the player’s agent.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old, who joined CSKA in 2012 and scored 54 goals in 168 games, is set to sign for what BBC Sport understands is a Foxes club-record fee.<\/p>\n
“Everything has been finalised and Musa will be in England for his medical on Wednesday,” Tony Harris told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
BBC Sport understands Musa turned down Southampton, Everton and West Ham.<\/p>\n
CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky admitted the Nigerian, who can play as winger or striker, is on his way out of the club.<\/p>\n
“He’ll be leaving on Tuesday,” Slutsky told the Russian media.<\/p>\n
“If you look at the way things are done over there, you’ll see he is a player just made for English football.”<\/p>\n
Musa made his international debut against Madagascar in September 2010 and has scored 11 times in 58 appearances for the Super Eagles.<\/p>\n
He scored twice in Nigeria’s 3-2 loss to Argentina at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, becoming the first Nigerian to score twice in a World Cup finals match.<\/p>\n
His first goal in that Group F game was his country’s fastest at the tournament, coming after just four minutes.<\/p>\n
