West Ham revive bid for Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani

Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani is again on the agenda of West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce.

The Daily Mail says the striker has impressed for Algeria at the World Cup and scored against South Korea on Sunday. He was a target for West Ham earlier in the year and they discussed a potential loan in January but now Sporting want to cash-in.

Sporting want £6.5m for the 26-year-old and they may still be too rich for West Ham's liking.
