The forward is currently on loan at Monaco and he has had an impressive season with the Ligue 1 outfit so far. However, he is not keen on staying there and a return to the Premier League is on the cards.
According to Le10sport, Aston Villa have submitted a loan offer for the striker.
Dean Smith needs to improve his attacking options and Slimani could prove to be a solid short term buy for Villa. The 31-year-old has a good link-up play and he is impressive in the air.
Slimani can hold up the ball and he will help bring the likes of Grealish into the play.
