Leicester City hero Emile Heskey can see Islam Slimani re-establishing himself with the Foxes.

After failing to secure a summer move away from the King Power Stadium, Slimani has been drafted back into the first-team fold by manager Brendan Rodgers.

“He's got ability. When they first bought him I thought he was a perfect fit because he's a forward who likes to chase lost causes and works really hard, and that's what we like at Leicester," Heskey told Bookmakers.co.uk.

“We like people who are willing to put themselves about, who are going to put in the hard graft. But with the way Brendan has changed the philosophy and the way some of the players play, you need a little more than hard work at times.

“But he might have an opportunity now with Vardy being out and Iheanacho not necessarily grasping his chance with both hands. It's definitely a chance for Slimani to get back into the good books."
