Leicester City misfit Ahmed Musa is due to undergo a medical after CSKA Moscow agreed a season-long loan deal.
The 25-year-old Nigeria international moved from CSKA to Leicester for a club-record £18.2million fee in 2016.
Despite a promising start to his Leicester career, he has made just one appearance this season.
Musa had been linked with other Premier League sides this month, including West Brom.

But he is now poised to return to Russia, where he scored 42 league goals in his first stint for CSKA.
Since joining Leicester, Musa has netted five times in 33 outings in all competitions.
Musa, who has 67 caps for his country, will be hoping to play a big role in Nigeria’s World Cup campaign this summer.
Musa’s professional career began in September 2007, after a local publication in Jos, Nigeria featured him on its Undiscovered Talent column.
In 2008, he was loaned to JUTH F.C. where he played 18 games, scoring four goals in his first two professional seasons for the Healers.
He was subsequently loaned to Kano Pillars FC, in the 2009–10 season where he set the league record scoring multiple crucial goals as Pillars finished second.
Musa previously held the record for the highest goals ever scored in one season in the history of the Nigeria Premier League until November 2011 when Jude Aneke of Kaduna United FC set a new goals record of 20 goals.
