Ahmed Musa leaves Leicester to join Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr on a four-year deal
Al-Nassr announced this morning that he had signed a four-year contract but did not disclose the transfer fee.
According to unconfirmed reports, Leicester City received a fee of £14.8m with several add-ons, which will see the deal rise to as high as £25m. The deal is expected to make him the highest-paid Nigerian footballer when the transfer fee is revealed.
The Super Eagles forward was the Foxes' record signing when he moved to the King Power for £16.6million in 2016, but struggled for playing time and was loaned back to his old club CSKA Moscow for part of last season.
He was Nigeria hero at the just concluded FIFA World Cup in Russia after his brace against Iceland recorded Nigeria only win in Russia. His second goal went ahead to be ranked 8th best out of the 169 goals scored in Russia 2018 World Cup.
