Musa joined CSKA in 2012 and scored 54 goals in 168 games during five seasons in Russia.

The striker is believed to have turned down offers from Southampton, Everton and West Ham.

“He’ll be leaving on Tuesday. If you look at the way things are done over there, you’ll see he is a player just made for English football”, CSKA Moscow coach Leonid Slutsky was quoted to have told the Russian media.
