Nigerian international, Ahmed Musa says he joined premier league champions Leicester City on a £18m deal because of the family-like atmosphere in the club.
Musa completed the four -year deal with the Foxes Friday to become Leicester’s fourth signing of the Summer, following the arrival of Nampaly’s trio of Mendy, Ron -Robert Zieler and Luis Hernandez.
After the deal was confirmed Musa, 23 , declared his delight at moving to the King Power Stadium.
‘I feel very happy joining Leicester City, for me it’s one of the best clubs and I feel very happy,’ Musa told the club’s website. ‘I joined because it’s one of the best clubs in the Premier League and they are like a family.That’s why I joined Leicester City and I’m very excited.
‘I look forward to seeing the fans in the new season and I will do my best to make them happy.’
Leicester’s new signing joined CSKA in 2012 and scored 54 goals in 168 games, and has scored 11 times in 58 appearances for Nigeria since making his debut in 2010.
Musa scored twice in Nigeria’s 3-2 defeat by Argentina at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, becoming the first Nigerian to score twice in a World Cup finals match.
His first goal in that Group F game was Super Eagle’s fastest at the tournament, coming after just four minutes.
The striker scored 13 goals and assisted another five for CSKA in 30 Russian Premier League appearances during the 2015-16 season – his most prolific campaign for Leonid Slutsky’s side since his arrival from Dutch side VVV-Venlo in 2012.
