Newcastle make Leicester striker Islam Slimani a deadline-day priority as Rafa Benitez demands a new forward

• Newcastle have made Leicester's Islam Slimani their deadline-day priority
• The Magpies have a longstanding interest in the 29-year-old target man
• Leicester have told domestic clubs that they will only allow a permanent deal
• Monaco were in talks over a loan move which Leicester were happy with

Newcastle United will make Leicester striker Islam Slimani their deadline-day priority.

The Magpies have a longstanding interest in the 29-year-old and have been in contact with the Foxes this month.

However, Leicester have told any Premier League clubs making an enquiry that they will only allow Slimani to leave on a permanent basis, with the asking price around £20million.

Monaco were in talks over a loan move and Leicester would have been happy with that arrangement.

But the Algerian wants to stay in England and, if Newcastle do return with a loan offer, it would almost certainly have to include an obligation to buy if they survived.

West Ham are also interested in the player who joined Leicester for £28m in 2016 but has scored just eight Premier League goals in 18 months.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is desperate for a new striker and missed out on a loan move for Daniel Sturridge this week, while the club have refused to meet Feyenoord’s asking price of £22m for Nicolai Jorgensen.

Newcastle sign Leicester striker Islam Slimani and Sparta Prague keeper Martin Dubravka on loan

Newcastle have signed Leicester forward Islam Slimani and Sparta Prague goalkeeper Martin Dubravka on loan until the end of the season.

Slimani, 29, joined Leicester in August 2016 for a fee believed to be a club-record £29m but he has started just two Premier League games this season.

Dubravka, also 29, has made 11 appearances for Sparta Prague.

"Slimani is a player with Premier League experience," said Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez.

"He is a player who can fight with defenders, challenge and score goals. Hopefully he can give us some experience and some different characteristics to the strikers we have at the moment.

"Dubravka is someone with some experience. He will need to settle down quickly as he is a player coming from abroad, but he is very agile and he can play with his feet.

"He will give us some competition in goal, and that is what we are looking for."

Dubravka has nine caps for Slovakia and played against England in September's 2018 World Cup qualifier at Wembley, which England won 2-1.

Algeria international Slimani has scored five goals in 17 appearances for the Foxes this season.

Newcastle have scored only 22 goals in 24 Premier League games and they had been linked with moves for Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge before he joined West Brom and Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen.

"It's a great thing for me and for Newcastle," Slimani said.

"I'm happy to be here. Hopefully I can come here and be able to give them a hand."

Slimani scored 51 goals in 96 appearances at Sporting Lisbon and scored twice at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as Algeria reached the knockout stages for the first time.
