Leicester to break club record for CSKA Moscow striker Musa

The 23-year-old, who scored 13 league goals in 29 league appearances last season as the club won the Russian title, was linked by British media to Leicester City in January and had also attracted interest from Southampton and West Ham United.

He has now reportedly passed his medical, and only the signing of the contract remains to clinch a £16 million deal that will be a club record.

"Everything has been finalised and Musa will be in England for his medical on Wednesday," the player's agent Tony Harris told BBC Sport.

CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky was also optimistic that Musa would flourish in England.

"He'll be leaving on Tuesday," Slutsky told Russian media.

"If you look at the way things are done over there, you'll see he is a player just made for English football."

Leicester City also announced the signing of midfielder Nampalys Mendy from Nice on Sunday.
