Super Eagles and Leicester City forward Ahmed Musa has joined Al-Nassr for an undisclosed fee.

The Saudi Arabian side revealed on Friday via their Twitter handle that the Nigerian signed a four-year deal with the club.

Musa was Leicester’s record signing when he joined the Premier League side for about £16m from CSKA Moscow in 2016.

He was, however, loaned back to the Russian club last season, after scoring just two goals in 21 games at Leicester.

The 25-year-old represented Nigeria at the just concluded World Cup tournament in Russia, scoring both goals in a win over Iceland in Group D.

Having joined the Saudi professional league, Musa was received by his new club with an open arm.
