West Bromwich Albion are considering a bid for Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

The Baggies are desperate to sign a forward before the October 5 transfer deadline.

And according to The Telegraph, Slaven Bilic is weighing up whether to sign Slimani on a season-long loan deal.

The Algerian has been loaned out to Newcastle, Fenerbahce and Monaco over the last two-and-a half seasons.

Leicester would prefer to sanction a permanent transfer for the 32-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
