Sporting CP striker Islam Slimani remains on the radar of Premier League clubs.

The Algeria international, who won high praise from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho during the World Cup, came close to joining West Ham United over Christmas.

A Bola says Slimani is still attracting English interest, with Norwich City, West Brom, Leicester City and Newcastle United all keen.

The powerful centre-forward faces an uncertain preseason after the appointment of Jorge Jesus as new Sporting coach.
