Islam Slimani wants to leave Leicester City in January

Leicester City striker Islam Slimani wants to leave the club when the transfer window reopens in January.

The 29-year-old forward is frustrated with the lack of regular first-team football and he wants to kick-start his career with a move away from the King Power Stadium.

The Algerian joined Leicester City in the summer of 2016 for a club record fee of £29m.

It is evident that Slimani is not the first choice striker for Claude Puel and therefore a move away from the club is best for all parties.
