Report: Tianjin want Islam Slimani from Leicester City

Chinese Super League side Tianjin are reportedly preparing a big-money offer for Leicester City striker Islam Slimani.

Slimani only joined Leicester in a £29m deal last summer and has scored five times in 13 Premier League appearances for the Foxes since making the move from Sporting Lisbon.

However, according to Sky Sports News, Tianjin are preparing to test Leicester's resolve with a significant bid for the centre-forward, who is currently representing Algeria at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

It has been suggested that Slimani is unsettled at the King Power Stadium due to the team's struggles this season, which have left the defending champions down in 15th position in the Premier League table.

The 29-year-old signed a five-year contract with the Foxes upon his arrival in August 2016.
