Algeria striker Islam Slimani has completed a move to Leicester City from Sporting Lisbon for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the King Power Stadium, subject to FA, Premier League and international clearance.

Slimani, an international team-mate of Riyad Mahrez, told Leicester's website: "To join a team like Leicester City is a huge honour and I can't wait to get started. I've always wanted to play my football in the Premier League and to get the opportunity to do that with the reigning champions was something I simply could not turn down."

Sporting Lisbon turned down a £25m bid from the Premier League champions in the early hours of Tuesday morning but the two clubs agreed a deal over the last few days.

Sporting midfielder Adrien Silva remains a Leicester target

Sky sources also report that Leicester are still interested in signing Slimani's team-mate Adrien Silva.

The midfielder has made it clear that he would be keen on a move to the Premier League champions.

However, we understand Sporting will not entertain any offer unless the midfielder's £38m release clause is met up front.
