Leicester City\u2019s record signing and Nigerian international Ahmed Musa was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly beating his wife Jamila, a media report in the UK said.<\/p>\n
The Independent reported that Musa was arrested and released hours after Leicester\u2019s 2-0 triumph over Sunderland. But he did not play a part in the match.<\/p>\n
\u201cA 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday morning at his home address near Leicester on suspicion of common assault,\u201d a spokesman for Leicestershire Police spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Leicester City said that they were aware of the investigation, but confirmed that they will not be taking action against the player after the matter was closed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are aware that Ahmed Musa has today cooperated with a police inquiry relating to a disturbance in the early hours of this morning,\u201d a Leicester City spokesman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe inquiry has since been closed and no further action is to be taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see no reason for formal action internally, though Ahmed will be given the opportunity to discuss the matter with football management when the squad returns.\u201d<\/p>\n
