Hull City are closing a deal for Leicester City striker Ahmed Musa.

The Leicester Mercury says Hull have held talks with Leicester this week and are confident of finalising a move before the deadline on Thursday.

This would see Musa reunite with Tigers boss Leonid Slutsky, who the City forward played under for four years at CSKA Moscow.

“He is not our player but, of course, every coach is better working with players he knows and I worked with Musa for four years," said Slutsky.

“I know him and he knows me."
