Leicester still hoping to sign Musa
Posted Tuesday, February 09, 2016 by foxsportsasia.com
Leicester City have not given up hope of signing Nigerian striker Ahmed Musa with the Foxes set to return for another bid in June.
The English Premier League leaders had bids of £15million and £18.7million turned down by CSKA Moscow during the January transfer window, but Britain's The Mirror reports they will try again to land him at the end of the current season.
Manchester United were also linked with the 23-year-old, but Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is reportedly prepared to make a £23million bid for Musa.
The Nigerian has netted 10 goals for his CSKA Moscow this season with the team currently top of the Russian Premier League and due to face Dinamo Kiev in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The paper adds that "CSKA are trying to persuade Musa, who signed a new four-year deal last year, that his future lies with them beyond this summer.
"But the player is understood to have his heart set on a move to the Premier League and has been assured that Ranieri is impressed enough by him to continue his pursuit."
