Islam Slimani 'lands in Newcastle ahead of loan move'

Leicester City forward Islam Slimani reportedly lands in Newcastle by private jet ahead of his proposed loan move to Newcastle United.

Leicester City striker Islam Slimani has reportedly landed in Newcastle by private jet ahead of his proposed loan to Newcastle United.

The Magpies are understood to have agreed a deal with the Foxes to sign Slimani until the end of the season, despite a training-ground injury putting the move in jeopardy.

The 29-year-old is now expected to undergo a medical with the club this afternoon and complete his switch to St James' Park before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline.

Slimani was a club-record signing when he joined from Sporting Lisbon in 2016, but he has struggled for regular first-team football at the King Power Stadium since his £28m arrival.

The Algerian international, whose compatriot Riyad Mahrez could also be leaving Leicester on deadline day, has made only two Premier League starts for the club this season.
