Algeria striker Islam Slimani has completed a move to Leicester City from Sporting Lisbon for an undisclosed fee.
The 28-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the King Power Stadium, subject to FA, Premier League and international clearance.
Slimani, an international team-mate of Riyad Mahrez, told Leicester’s website: “To join a team like Leicester City is a huge honour and I can’t wait to get started. I’ve always wanted to play my football in the Premier League and to get the opportunity to do that with the reigning champions was something I simply could not turn down.” NaijaBet.com
Sporting Lisbon turned down a £25m bid from the Premier League champions in the early hours of Tuesday morning but the two clubs agreed a deal over the last few days.
