Leicester City striker Islam Slimani is in limbo at Fenerbahce.

The Sun says the Turkish giants had hoped to offload the Algerian forward, 30, in January.

But the Foxes have now claimed they will not accept the deal and Slimani will need to see out the season in Istanbul.

Slimani has scored just three times in 15 matches in all competitions this season, with two of those coming in the same game - a 2-0 win over Europa League minnows Spartak Trnava.

On top of that, the Premier League flop has been booked four times and sent-off once in a less than stellar start to his loan at Fenerbahce.
