Why I decided against Hull City move - Leicester City’s Ahmed Musa

Despite being close to a move to join his former coach at the KCOM Stadium, the winger pulled the plug on the deal

Ahmed Musa has revealed he was unwilling to drop to the English Championship to join Hull City despite showing interest in playing for Leonid Slutsky.

The Nigeria winger has been on the periphery at Leicester City, and confirmed speculations about why he opted against reuniting with his former manager.

Talks broke down on deadline day as the Tigers were hopeful of landing the 24-year-old speedster who instead stayed at the King Power Stadium, unwilling to sacrifice top-flight football.
