Rennes are interested in Leicester City defender Yohan Benalouane, according to reports in France.

The Ligue 1 side are said to be considering signing a central defender during the January transfer window with 30-year-old Benalouane one of a number of potential targets.

Benalouane has made just three appearances for City this season, which have all come in the FA Cup or Carabao Cup, and has made the bench in the Premier League matchday squad just three times.

He has slipped down the pecking order at City following the arrival of Harry Maguire and the loan signing of Aleksandar Dragovic.

Robert Huth is set to return from long-term ankle and foot injuries, which is likely to give Benalouane even less chance of game-time under Claude Puel.

Rennes, who sit eighth in the French top tier, could offer Benalouane a way out of the club, according to L’Equipe.

Benalouane, who has 18 months left on his contract at Leicester, was linked with Italian side Inter Milan before Christmas while in the summer was said to have been offered a three-year contract by Turkish side Osmanlispor.
