Leicester City footballer Ahmed Musa has been arrested on suspicion of attacking his wife. The Nigerian striker, 24, who cost the Premier League club a record fee of £16.6million, was quizzed by police at his £850,000 five-bedroom home in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire. Officers swooped at his home on Tuesday night in response to a domestic abuse complaint; just hours after his side's 2-0 win over Sunderland. When they found no one in they made inquiries with surprised neighbours.

The former CSKA Moscow forward was finally arrested at 1am yesterday, by two plain-clothed policewomen, after he returned home.  The father-of-two Musa was grilled for allegedly beating his wife Jamila and was released without charge.
