His struggles in the 2016-17 campaign have frequently seen him with a King Power Stadium exit, with newspaper reports suggesting the 24-year-old could join former boss, Leonid Slutsky at Hull City.

Algeria international Islam Slimani was on target twice as the Foxes cruised to the next stage of the championship after Demarai Gray had gotten the curtain raiser for Craig Shakespeare's side.
