Brendan Rodgers provides update on Slimani's future at Leicester City

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has disclosed that Islam Slimani will leave the club before the end of the European transfer window.

Slimani has struggled to find regular playing time at the King Power Stadium since his debut campaign and he could be on the move again this summer.

The 31-year-old forward spent the entire 2018-19 campaign on loan in the Turkish Super Lig with Fenerbahce where he scored one goal in 15 outings.
