Yohan Benalouane? French born Tunisian.... 

 

Could be just what he needs after his career has stalled since his £5.6m move from Atalanta to Leicester....

 

 

He's a centre back and he's only just moved to Forest in this window from Leicester.

 

Nope.

Alex Iocovatti...

Scottish international defender Alex Iacovitti signed on as a scholar in July 2014 and he is tipped to have a bright future in the game for both club and country.

A talented and composed centre back who is equally comfortable playing on the left-hand side of a back four, Iacovitti made his first-team debut on the opening day of the 2016-17 season against Burton Albion.

Iacovitti played a key role in the Under 18s success in 2014-15 before making the step up to the Under 23s 2015-16.

After making his first-team bow and a second appearance away at Brighton & Hove Albion, Iacovitti joined Mansfield Town on loan and made eight appearances for The Stags.

Born in England to an Italian father and a Scottish mother, Iacovitti made the decision to represent Scotland and has since gone on to play for his country at Under 17, 19 and 20 level, impressing many of the coaching staff in the national set-up.

 

Was at Forest Green on loan last season too.

From Wiki, so this may not be accurate.

 

Iacovitti progressed through the academy of Nottingham Forest and made his professional debut for the club on 6 August 2016, starting at left-back in a 4–3 win against Burton Albion.[2][3] On 31 August 2016 Iacovitti joined Mansfield Town on loan for the 2016–17 season.[4]

Stags manager Adam Murray revealed that there had been a lot of interest from other clubs in Iacovitti, and described the player as an "old-school centre-half".[5] On 12 November, Iacovitti was shown a red card in the 74th minute away at Portsmouth. A goal down at the time, Mansfield Town went on to lose the game 4–0 having also had Kyle Howkins dismissed.[6] On 1 January 2017, Mansfield Town confirmed that Iacovitti would be returning to Forest early from his loan spell. Mansfield manager Steve Evans, who had replaced Murray in November, cited the reason as a lack of playing time.[7]

On 31 July 2017 Iacovitti was loaned to League Two club Forest Green Rovers for the 2017–18 season.[8] However, his loan was cut short at the beginning of 2018 and he returned to Nottingham.[9]
