Leicester City striker Islam Slimani appears to have secured a move away from the club.

The Algerian is out of contract in the summer, and Leicester wanted his wages off their bill.

And the Daily Mail has claimed the 32-year-old has arrived in France for a medical with Lyon.

Slimani is set to replace Moussa Dembele at the Ligue 1 leaders, who are selling the Frenchman to Atletico Madrid.

The Algerian will sign an 18 month deal with Lyon.

Slimani never fulfilled his potential with Leicester and is not in manager Brendan Rodgers' plans this season.
