Arsenal will turn their attention to Islam Slimani after missing out on Jamie Vardy, according to the Daily Star.

The Gunners are reportedly putting together a bid of around £23million for the Sporting Lisbon striker to try and lure him away from Portugal.

Slimani, who has been actively linked with a host of Premier League clubs, scored 27 goals in 33 games last season.

The Algerian international is under contract until 2020 but is allegedly happy to talk to Arsenal over the possibility of a move.

Sporting are expected to offer Slimani a new contract to help convince him to stay.
