Swansea City to snap up Leonardo Ulloa in January

Swansea City are confident that a deal can be agreed for out of favour striker Leonardo Ulloa in the January transfer window. Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has told Ulloa that he is free to leave the club.

Ulloa has slipped further down the pecking order with the arrival of strikers such as Ahmed Musa at the Foxes and now the Swans are ready to pounce in a mega money transfer deal.

The striker, 30, has played in England since 2013 when he joined Brighton and Hove Albion from Spanish side Almeria and is said to be desperate for regular first team football and will assess the opportunity offered by the Welsh club in the January transfer window.
