​Nigerian skipper Musa still on Leicester radar

Leicester City still want to sign Nigeria's Ahmed Musa despite having an initial bid rejected by CSKA Moscow, BBC Sport understands.

The Russian side have rejected a £15.1m offer for the 23 year old as they hold out for a fee closer to their £18.9m valuation of the forward.

The Nigeria captain has a £22.8m buyout clause in his contract, which runs until 2019.
