Tunisian defender Yohan Benaloune joined the Foxes on a four-year deal in August for a fee of £5.6m, leaving the Serie A where he played for Atalanta with a total of 27 appearances for the club last season. The 28-year-old centre-back is a former France under-21 international but has chosen to represent Tunisia.
He made his first team debut for Leicester City as a substitute during a 4-2 victory over Sunderland, while he also played the full 90 minutes in the development squad’s 1-1 home draw with Manchester United in August. The development squad manager of the team, Steve Beaglehole, said of Benalouane, ‘He looks a good acquisition’.
Too right.
