Hull In Talks With Leicester Over Striker

It’s being reported tonight that Hull City have now formally opened talks with Leicester City over striker Ahmed Musa.

A potential deal was hinted at a few days ago but all went quiet, however earlier this evening Sky Sports were reporting that talks were now officially underway.

Musa played previously for Hull head coach Leonid Slutsky during his four year spell at CSKA Moscow so they know each other well, and the deal would be a season long loan deal.

The 24 year old Nigerian international joined Leicester last summer for £16.6million but despite showing moments where he’s impressed, he hasn’t really established himself in the starting line up, making only 14 appearances from the start with a further 19 from the bench. In that time he’s returned five goals.

He’s yet to appear in the Premier League for Leicester this season, but did find the net in their League Cup victory over Sheffield United.
