Musa has found first-team action difficult to come by, featuring just once for the Foxes this season in a League Cup tie against Sheffield United in August.

He has only featured in a Premier League squad once, appearing on the bench for the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool last month.

The forward was linked with a move to Hull City in the summer but was unwilling to drop down to the Championship.

However, Bursaspor are now offering Musa an exit from his King Power nightmare.

Bursaspor’s representative Hasan Parlakay confirmed their interest in taking the winger on loan while speaking to reporters on Friday.

He said: “Ahmed Musa is a very influential player who will be able to add value and class to us.”

“If we are realistic, we cannot buy him.

“But he wants to play with Nigeria in the World Cup. For this you have to keep playing and keep form in the league. We have players in our team from the same national team, [Mikel] Agu and [William] Troost-Ekong.

“Wearing the Bursaspor shirt on loan until the end of the year is an attractive offer. We hope to give good news in the coming days.”
