A thigh injury suffered to Leicester City striker Islam Slimani could reportedly put a move away from the club in danger.

The 29-year-old has been linked to Newcastle United and West Ham United over the past few weeks.

Recent reports claimed that the Hammers were winning the race for the Algerian's signature, but things have reportedly changed.

According to Sky Sports News, Slimani is expected to be on the sidelines for two weeks after suffering a thigh injury in training, which has caused Newcastle and West Ham to consider their positions.

The report claims that Leicester are willing to offload the forward before tonight's deadline, but would prefer a permanent sale over a loan.
