Nigerian international Ahmed Musah has been arrested by the police over suspicion of assaulting his wife

Leicester City footballer Ahmed Musa has been arrested on suspicion of attacking his wife.

The Nigerian striker, 24, was quizzed at his £850,000 five-bedroom home in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, just hours after his side's 2-0 win over Sunderland.

Police received a domestic abuse complaint against the player, who cost the Premier League club a record fee of £16.6million.

"The inquiry has since been closed and no further action is to be taken.

"We see no reason for formal action internally, though Ahmed will be given the opportunity to discuss the matter with football management when the squad returns."

The police and the club have confirmed the arrest, which happened after the victory against Sunderland. Musa was not part of the 18-man squad chosen for that match.
