Yohan Benalouane has joined English championship side Nottingham Forest from Leicester City on an 18-month contract for an undisclosed fee.
On Monday, the Reds announced Martin O'Neill as the new manager following the departure of Aitor Karanka and he has made the 31-year-old his first signing in his quest to boost his side’s promotion at the end of the season.
Reacting to the move, the former Atalanta player is looking forward to working with the new gaffer and hoping to improve under him.
"I spoke with him before and he is a really nice man. He is a person who knows what he wants, that is important and it is an honour to work for him,” Benalouane told club website.
