Reports from England reveal that the player has completed a £25 million move from City to the Foxes after passing a medical. The fee makes the Super Eagles star the most expensive Nigerian player ever, displacing Odion Ighalo when he signed for Chinese club Changchun Yatai for £20m in January.

Although the move was delayed by legal issues over image rights with his former agents, it is learnt that, after passing his medical on Tuesday, the player signed a five-year contract with the Foxes.
However, an announcement is only expected within the next 24-48 hours as the club wants to tidy up legal details in respect of his former representatives.
It is also gathered that the Citizens have inserted a buy-back option in the contract, which is reported to be in the region of £50m for one of Europe's brightest young footballers.
