Musa is in pursuit of first team football after falling out of favour under the management of Claude Puel.

The 25-year-old has struggled to break into the first team and has spent most of this season playing for the Under-23's.

He found the net five times in 33 appearances throughout his torrid spell at the King Power Stadium.

Musa will be eligible to feature in CSKA Moscow's Europa League clash against Red Star Belgrade in Serbia next month.
