Nigeria international Ahmed Musa continues to be in the news following his heroic performance at the recently held 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

 Musa who grabbed a brace in Nigeria's 2-0 defeat of Iceland during the group stages of global mundial, has been linked to several European clubs.

The player have endured a difficult time at Leicester City since he joined the Premier League outfit in 2016 from Russian giants CSKA Moscow for £16m.

He spent the remainder of the 2017-18 campaign on loan at CSKA, having struggled to establish himself in the English topflight league with Leicester.

Despite his first-two unimpressive years at the King Power Stadium, Leicester Mercury writes that multiple international media outlets are suggesting that the Nigerian will complete a £40m move to Al Nassar of Saudi Arabia.

The 25-year-old former Kano Pillars and VVV Venlo attacker was previously linked with Galatasaray, Fulham and Huddersfield in the ongoing transfer window.
