Leicester City target Sporting’s £25m Islam Slimani to bolster forward line

Leicester City are interested in signing the Sporting forward Islam Slimani as the Premier League champions begin their preparations for the next campaign.

Claudio Ranieri’s side has relied heavily on Jamie Vardy’s goals this season – the striker has scored more than a third of the team’s league total – and the club is looking to bring in two strikers for the new campaign, according to the Guardian.

Slimani, an Algeria international who was linked with a move to Leicester last summer, has had a tremendous season with Sporting, scoring 26 goals in 32 league games and his hard-working playing style and low-key personality would fit in well at Leicester.
