Newcastle United will make Leicester striker Islam Slimani their deadline-day priority.
The Magpies have a longstanding interest in the 29-year-old and have been in contact with the Foxes this month.
However, Leicester have told any Premier League clubs making an enquiry that they will only allow Slimani to leave on a permanent basis, with the asking price at around £20million.
Monaco were in talks over a loan move and Leicester would have been happy with that arrangement.
