Leicester reject Aston Villa transfer approach as Tottenham circle

Leicester City have reportedly refused Aston Villa's bid about signing centre-forward Islam Slimani. Dean Smith is still keen on boosting his attacking options and he's already paid £10m for Mbwana Samatta from Genk, but would welcome more new arrivals. According to L’Equipe, Brendan Rodgers' side have rebuffed Villa's advances, as they are willing to part with the Algeria international permanently, only if a fee is agreed. Getty Images Having scored 57 goals in 109 games for Sporting Lisbon, the 31-year-old moved to Leicester for £28m in 2016, however, Slimani failed to show his best at the King Power Stadium and managed to score just 13 goals in 47 games. Tottenham have also been linked with Slimani as they look for a replacement for Harry Kane, as he is sidelined due to a hamstring injury until April. Source- Daily Star
