Leicester striker Islam Slimani wanted back at Sporting CP

Leicester City striker Islam Slimani is wanted back at Sporting CP.

Leicester broke their club transfer record to sign the Algerian from the Portuguese heavyweights for £28million last summer.

Sporting's top goal scorer from last season, Bas Dost, is a target for both Stoke and Newcastle and France Football say should the Dutchman leave, boss Jorge Jesus wants Slimani as a replacement.
