Benalouane joins Fiorentina from Leicester

Yohan Benalouane has joined Fiorentina on loan until the
end of the season just five months after leaving Serie A for
Leicester City.

Premier League surprise package Leicester forked out a
reported £5.6 million to sign the French centre-back from
Atalanta in August.

Benalouane has struggled to break into the first team at the
King Power Stadium, though, and all four of his Premier
League appearances have come from the substitutes's
bench.

The 28-year-old has subsequently swapped a battle for the
Premier League title for Fiorentina's challenge for a
Champions League place in Italy's top flight.

Benalouane, whose move is subject to clearance from the
Football Association, could make his debut against Carpi on
Wednesday.
