[ad_pod ]According to The Guardian sport’s deputy news editor Ed Aarons on Twitter, Leeds United are one of two clubs interested in signing Leicester City defender Yohan Benalouane and his arrival at Elland Road may suggest a big change is on the horizon.

What’s the word, then?

Well, the experienced Tunisian is currently enjoying a fruitful loan spell with the Whites’ Championship rivals Nottingham Forest, where he has formed a strong partnership with Alexander Milosevic at the heart of the defence.

According to Aarons the 31-year-old, whose contract at the King Power Stadium is due to expire next summer, is attracting interest from the Yorkshire outfit and Cardiff City ahead of the summer transfer window.

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa would certainly have some decisions to make if a deal did end up happening.

Change of formation?

You would think so.

Are Leeds set for another spectacular fall from grace? Ingood Nick believes so in the video below…

Given Liam Cooper is the captain and Pontus Jansson is such an influential figure for the Whites, it is difficult right now to see either being cast aside whichever division United find themselves in next season.

Benalouane is similar to the Swede in many ways in that he is a committed character who wears his heart on his sleeve, and there is little doubt that he is someone who would be a favourite among the Elland Road faithful because of his warrior-like displays.

However, even though he is approaching 32 years of age he surely won’t be happy to sign for Leeds if he is going to be on the substitutes’ bench, which could suggest Bielsa is considering a change of formation.

Four at the back has been the Argentine’s go-to this term, but given winger Ezgjan Alioski is currently featuring at left-back it would be no surprise if a formation incorporating three central defenders and wing-backs was on his mind moving forward.
