Leicester boss Claude Puel offers no assuarances over Islam Slimani's future

Leicester boss Claude Puel has offered no guarantees record signing Islam Slimani will stay with the Foxes.

The striker has played just 10 minutes since Puel was appointed manager in October.

He has failed to impress since a £30 million move from Sporting Lisbon in August 2016, netting 12 times in 41 games.

Leicester spent £25 million on Kelechi Iheanacho in the summer while Leonardo Ulloa, Shinji Okazaki and Ahmed Musa are also options to support Jamie Vardy, and Puel remained coy on Slimani's future.

"Time will tell to speak about the January transfer window but he is in the squad," Puel told a press conference ahead of Saturday's visit of Crystal Palace.
