Slimani to leave Leicester

Leicester City are prepared to release Islam Slimani this summer, and have valued the striker at £10m, according to Daily Star.

Abraham has impressed scouts from the German club with his outstanding displays that have seen him score 23 times in 35 Championship games this term.

With Timo Werner's set to depart in the summer, RB Leipzig have lined up a move for Abraham but will need to wait for Chelsea's success in their appeal against Fifa transfer ban.

Zaha reacts to Man Utd return rumours

Wilfried Zaha has reinstated his commitment to Crystal Palace by squashing reports of a return to Manchester United this summer.

Following his significant impact in Roy Hodgson's team this season, the Ivorian star has been linked with a second stint at Old Trafford with Borussia Dortmund also eyeing move as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Christian Perisic.
