, Aston Villa are ‘monitoring’ the progress of Islam Slimani in the January transfer window.
Villa have already signed Mbwana Ally Samatta this month, but Dean Smith has admitted that he needs to sign another player before Friday’s deadline day.
The 68-times capped Algeria international joined Leicester in 2016 and has managed 47 games for the club, scoring 13 goals. He has been out on loan at Newcastle and Fenerbahce in the past as well.
He is currently on loan at AS Monaco, where he has enjoyed a decent campaign, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists in 13 Ligue 1 appearances.
