Footballer Labelled 'Serial Killer' By Colleague

Footballer Labelled 'Serial Killer' By Colleague

 

Tunisia international, Yohan Benalouane has labeled fellow African, Islam Slimani a 'serial killer' and 'real warrior' due to his exploits in front of goal.

Allnews.ng reports that Algerian Slimani who plays for AS Monaco on loan from Leicester City of England has nine goals and seven assists in 17 league matches for the French Ligue 1 side this campaign.

Nottingham Forest's Benalouane knows a thing about the Monaco hitman having played alongside him at Leicester City.

“He's a serial killer in front of the goal. In Leicester, when he arrived, we could see all of his scoring qualities,” the Tunisia international told France Football.

“He also tires the defences a lot. He is an asset, both in attack and defence. He immediately justified the money the club had spent for him.

“He's a real warrior. He was much appreciated for that. As soon as he arrived, he did us a lot of good.

“He made us laugh a lot, he talks a lot, he's funny. He is generous, always there to want to help his team-mates.

“For him, it was never easy. We always had to fight. Getting to where he is today is all his merit because he really fought.

"I'm really proud that he has become one of the best strikers in Ligue 1.”

Slimani and Monaco travel to Nice on Saturday to confront Patrick Vieira's side.

Monaco are presently seventh on the Ligue 1 table with 40 points from 27 matches.
