As the Blues continue to sound out every tall striker in Europe, they’ve made an approach to Leicester City for their out-of-favour Algerian star. Prolific with Sporting Lisbon prior to joining the Foxes last season, Slimani clearly doesn’t fit at the King Power, but he could suit Antonio Conte’s style and be an excellent short-term fix, especially as he won’t be cup-tied in the Champions League.
But, currently, it appears ex-Manchester City man Dzeko is at the top of Conte’s list of targets, despite him having already played in the Champions League.
