Spurs challenging Man Utd for Leicester striker Islam Slimani

Tottenham are challenging Manchester United for Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

Currently on a season-long loan at AS Monaco, Slimani is prepared to cut short his stay in the Principality and answer a Premier League SOS.

Spurs want Slimani as cover for the injured Harry Kane, while United are in a similar situation regarding Marcus Rashford.

Le 10 Sport says Spurs, United and Inter Milan are all in contact with Leicester about taking Slimani on-loan via Monaco for the remainder of the season.

For his part, Slimani has made it clear he wishes to end his stay with ASM after finding himself sidelined by new coach Robert Moreno.
