Besiktas president in Leicester for Slimani talks

Besiktas are eyeing Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

Besiktas president, Fikret Orman, was at King Power Stadium on Tuesday night to see Slimani play against Fleetwood in the FA Cup.

Talks with the Turkish club regarding the potential sale of the player are ongoing, though Leicester are yet to comment on the unfolding situation, says Sky Sports.

Despite being with the Foxes for little over 18 months, Slimani could be allowed to leave after manager Claude Puel admitted he has too many strikers at the club.

Leicester are prepared to listen to offers for all of their front men, except Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki.
