Lyon currently occupy first place in Ligue 1, and the team may well end up playing in the French Championship to the last.

Therefore, the club has also strengthened further as they had brought the 32-year-old Leicester striker Islam Slimani to the French club. This is confirmed by the club on its website.

Islam Slimani has been provided with a contract that runs until the summer of 2022, and Lyon also states on its website that they will pick up the Algerian striker for free on a free transfer.

Thus, Islam Slimani will in future appear in the French Ligue 1, but the league is not completely unknown to the 32-year-old striker. He has previously played for AS Monaco, where he played 19 games and scored nine goals.

Subsequently, he took the trip to the English, where he signed with Leicester with Danish Kasper Schmeichel in the squad. This season, however, it has only turned into a match for Leicester, while he has also been referred to the club's B team, where he has played two matches for the reserve team.

Islam Slimani managed to play 47 matches for Leicester, but in the future he will have to play for Lyon.
