England's champion "Leicester City" team is strengthening their attacking line - the club officially acquired Islam Slimani from "Sporting". Although the official transfer fee is not disclosed, it is believed that "Leicester City" paid around £30 million for Slimani. This means that the striker became the new record signing for the "Foxes". Immediately after joining the new team, Slimani did not hide his joy. "To join a team like "Leicester City" is a huge honor and I can't wait to start playing. I always wanted to play in the Premier League and the opportunity to debut in this league playing for the champions' team was something I couldn't refuse," - said the striker after the transfer. 28-year-old Slimani is moving to England after his best season with "Sporting" club, during which he scored 27 goals in the Portuguese championship.
