‘Slimani is a great player' – Monaco boss Moreno hails striker after Amiens display

Monaco manager Roberto Moreno has praised Islam Slimani following his impressive performance against Amiens in Saturday’s Ligue 1 game.

The on-loan Leicester City striker came off the bench to score the decisive goal which handed the Monegasques a 2-1 victory against the Unicorns.

The forward, who was close to leaving Monaco during the January transfer window, has quickly settled back into the team and made a key contribution for his side at Stade de la Licorne.
