According to the Leicester Mercury and numerous other media sources, Leicester City have signed CSKA Moscow forward Ahmed Musa for a reported £16.6 million, breaking the club's transfer record, which was just set last week when the club spent £13 million to acquire Nampalys Mendy.
Social media, as expected, exploded though the club has not yet confirmed the signing:
