Nottingham Forest 'interested' in Leicester City and Newcastle United flop

Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in signing former Leicester City and Newcastle United centre-forward Islam Slimani this summer.

The 33-year-old now plays for Sporting back in Portugal after spells in France and Turkey since leaving the Premier League permanently last year. Slimani has not found the same form back in Lisbon that saw Leicester spend a then-club record transfer fee on the striker.

Four goals followed in 12 matches following a free transfer from Lyon in February as Rúben Amorim side failed to defend their title. The Algeria international is again expected to be on the move this summer after being left out of the squad for seven of their last eight matches of the season in league and cup.
