# Islam Slimani
It was off the back of an incredible season with Sporting CP that Algeria international striker Islam Slimani arrived at Premier League champions Leicester in the summer of 2016. He has scored 31 goals in 46 appearances for the Portuguese outfit and was one of the Foxes headline signings as they limbered up in an attempt to defend their English crown.
Life in England started off perfectly as he scored a couple of goals on his debut against Burnley to help Leicester to a 3-0 win, while there was also the notable highlight of netting against Porto in the Champions League.
But after a rapid start, Slimani struggled to make much of an impression thereafter, scoring only a couple of goals after the turn of the year.
This term, he has become even more peripheral and has yet to get off the mark in the league, often being left on the bench. When he has come on, only once has he been afforded more than 16 minutes in which to shine.
Four goals in three EFL Cup ties, however, prove that he can still pack a punch.
At 29, he is approaching the peak of his powers and being used as a bit-part player should not be considered enough for him. Although there is no World Cup carrot to dangle as Algeria failed to qualify, if he is to reach his potential, it may be time for him to assess his options.
