Leicester City striker Islam Slimani is a step away from joining Rennes.

After a season on-loan with AS Monaco, Slimani is available from the Foxes this summer.

Telefoot says Rennes have made a serious move for the Algeria international and an agreement is now close.

Slimani is excited about the prospect of helping Rennes in next season's Champions League.

Leicester are now in advanced talks about selling the centre-forward to the Ligue 1 outfit.
