Aston Villa have reportedly made a bid to sign Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

Villa apparently want to take the Algerian international on loan for the remainder of the season.

Slimani is currently on loan at French club Monaco, where he has scored seven goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances to date.

However, it has been suggested that the 31-year-old would be open to a Premier League return.

Le10Sport is reporting that Villa have now tabled a loan offer for Slimani.

The Express adds that the forward would have to return to Leicester before a deal is agreed between the two Premier League clubs.

Villa are desperate to add to their attacking options during the January transfer window after Wesley was ruled out for the season due to injury.

The West Midlands outfit have also been linked with the likes of Christian Benteke, Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi.
