Leicester's Ulloa joins Pachuca as Slimani seals Fenerbahce loan

"Leonardo's contribution to the club has been a significant one and he will remain a popular figure among players, staff and supporters alike," Leicester said in a statement.

Algerian international Slimani struggled to nail down a starting spot since joining from Portuguese side Sporting in 2016 and was loaned to Newcastle United last season.

Fenerbahce, who were runners-up to Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig last season, kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 win at home to Bursaspor on Saturday.

Leicester, who lost 2-1 to Manchester United in their season opener on Friday, host Wolverhampton Wanderers next weekend.
