Nigerian forward set to reunite with former coach Slutsky at Hull City
Nigerian forward
After a below par debut season with Leicester City, Musa is expected to leave the 2016 Premier League champions.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Championship side Hull City, managed by his former coach Slutsky.
The Nigeria international and Slutsky worked together at CSKA Moscow for four years and the Hull City manager is keen for a reunion.

Slutsky is looking to bring Musa to Hull City where he has been hit with a series of first team injuries.
Abel Hernandez was stretchered off the field during their 2-3 home loss to Wolves on Tuesday, August 15 and with the injuries, Slutsky is looking to bring in some players including Musa.
“We have some loan options and maybe at the end of the transfer window getting players from the Premier League is possible,” Slutsky told after the game on Tuesday.
“We are waiting for the decision of big clubs on some players. He’s not our player but of course every coach is better working with players he knows and of course I worked with Musa for five years. I know him and he knows me, it is normal.
“His position is not the only important one though in this situation.”
Musa had an unimpressive season with Leicester City where he just scored two goals in 18 games.
