Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Yohan Benalouane from Leicester City.

As announced on Forest’s official website, Forest have secured the services of central defender Benalouane on an 18-month contract.

The 31-year-old Tunisia international joined Leicester in 2015, and much was expected of the defender at the King Power Stadium.

The former Parma star, though, has struggled for playing time at the Foxes, and it does not come as a surprise that Leicester sold the defender to Forest.

Forest, though, need an experienced central defender in their quest to finish in the top six of the Championship this season.

The Reds are still very much in the running for the playoffs, but they are a bit short at the back.

One suspects that new Forest manager Martin O’Neill has signed Benalouane for immediate impact.

Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Benalouane from Leicester in the January transfer window.
