Sporting have signed the Netherlands international for an undisclosed fee, sparking speculation that Islam Slimani may be on his way to Leicester.

Dost allegedly turned down an offer from Newcastle, as he wanted to play Champions League football.

The 27-year-old played 117 games for Wolfsburg and scored 48 goals for the German side.

It is thought that Sporting's signing of Dost may pave the way for Islam Slimani to move to the Premier League, with Leicester interested in the player.
