#3 Islam Slimani - Leicester to Newcastle United, loan

Slimani made an instant impact at Leicester scoring against Porto in the UCL

The unrest at Newcastle is once again at boiling point. The lack of investment is infuriating supporters, especially as they fight to retain their Premier League status.

Deadline day did see a good incoming player. What will frustrate the black and white army is that it is another mere loan deal.

Islam Slimani is the man tasked with scoring the goals to keep Newcastle in the top-flight. I would evaluate it as a good piece of business. There is no doubting Slimani as a talented striker despite his hot and cold form (mostly cold), for Leicester.

He has an impressive goal scoring record throughout his career which has tapered off since his arrival in the Premier League, but under the stewardship of Rafa Benitez we could still see the best of Algerian forward.
