Islam Slimani can only be an asset

As Islam Slimani has shown us on numerous occasions, he is a daunting presence to have up top and can be a a really handy forward, if not necessarily clinical, given that you play to his strengths.

He is probably the best header of the ball that City currently have in their ranks, which gives Leicester City a different dimension to their attack against teams that like to sit deep. Remember, not every team would give you the space to run in behind.
