Three clubs 'in talks with Leicester City striker Islam Slimani'

Islam Slimani could be on his way out of Leicester City before the end of the month as three foreign sides are reportedly in talks to sign him.

Former club Sporting Lisbon are among a clutch of sides in talks to sign striker Islam Slimani from Leicester City, according to a report.

The Algeria international has failed to secure a regular first-team place with the Foxes since joining in a club-record £28m move from Sporting two years ago.

Sky Sports News claims that Slimani may now be offered a route back to the Estadio Jose Alvalade, while Fenerbahce and Besiktas are also interested.

Leicester are only willing to offload the 30-year-old on a permanent basis, however, having sent him on loan to Newcastle United for the second half of last season.

Slimani made just four appearances and failed to score a single goal in a disappointing spell at St James' Park.
