Report: Ahmed Musa Set To Complete Transfer To Galatasaray

Galatasaray have agreed a deal for Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa to join the club

on loan for next season

Ahmed Musa made just one competitive appearance for Leicester’s first team in

the 2017/18 campaign, before returning to his former club CSKA Moscow on loan

in January.

According to Turkish TV Channel A Spor, the 2017/18 Super Lig champions have

reached a verbal agreement with the 25-year-old to spend next season on loan in

Istanbul.

Despite a return to form at CSKA Moscow where he scored seven goals in 16

games for the Russian side and collected three assists, it is understood he will not

return to CSKA on a permanent basis.

In 184 appearances for CSKA Moscow over two spells, he has accrued 61 goals and

32 assists. In stark contrast, he has made just 33 appearances for the Foxes since

his arrival in England, scoring just five times.

In spite of these difficulties in English football, the Nigerian still possessed

admirers from England, with Wolverhampton Wanderers supposedly in the hunt

for his signature. However, it now appears that Galatasaray have beaten the

Premier League new boys to it.

With an agreement apparently in place between player and club, all that remains

to be arranged is a transfer fee between the clubs. It is anticipated this will be

finalised in the coming weeks, during which time Musa will be fully focussed on

helping Nigeria out of the group stages at the World Cup in Russia.
