Leicester City fans have warned Nottingham Forest over their new signing, Yohan Benalouane.

Benalouane became Forest’s first signing under Martin O’Neill earlier today, with the defender expected to step in and improve the Reds’ defence.

Forest have been left short at the back at times this season, with Danny Fox having to be converted into a centre-back by Aitor Karanka.

As a result, O’Neill made signing a new central defender his top priority after taking charge at the City Ground and Leicester’s Benalouane was his top target.

Forest moved quickly to secure the Tunisian, but not all Foxes fans think he will go on to be a success, even in the Championship.

Benalouane has barely featured at Leicester this season, so may not be entirely match sharp upon his arrival at Forest.

He could make his debut at the weekend though, when O’Neill’s side take on Bristol City.
