Former Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa says it was not his decision to leave the club this summer.

Musa has signed a contract with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, which is going to net Leicester around £15 million in a transfer fee.

Musa was thought to have made the move for money, but he claims that it was out of his control.

"I wanted to stay in England because that has been my dream for years but what will you do when you're told a bid has been accepted for you? I had to move to where I know I will be celebrated," Musa is quoted as saying by Owngoalnigeria.com.

"Talks have been on about how I moved for the money but nobody has considered the fact that Leicester City also sold me for the money.

"Transfers can only happen if both parties agree to it and that was my case."
