Report: Leicester City fail with latest bid for CSKA Moscow's Ahmed Musa

Premier League leaders Leicester City have reportedly failed with their latest bid to sign Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow.

The Foxes are thought to have made multiple offers for the 23-year-old, who has also been the subject of reported interest from Manchester United this month.

According to The Mirror, Leicester's third bid of around £19m was expected to meet Moscow's valuation but has been knocked back by the Russian club.

Musa, who is under contract in the Russian capital until summer 2019, has scored six goals in 18 appearances this season.

Leicester have already made two signings - Demarai Gray and Daniel Amartey - this month.
