Monaco striker Slimani hailed as 'serial killer' by ex-Leicester City teammate Benalouane

The Algerian forward is having an impressive loan spell in France where he has been directly involved in 17 goals after 17 appearances

Former Leicester City defender Yohan Benalouane has showered praise on Islam Slimani for his goalscoring exploits in Ligue 1 with Monaco.

Slimani has established himself as one of the most lethal strikers in the French top-flight this campaign with a tally of nine goals and eight assists for the Stade Louis II outfit.

Benalouane, who is presently on the books of Championship side Nottingham Forest, played with the 31-year-old striker during his stint at the King Power Stadium.
