Swansea City have been made the bookies’ new favourites in the race to sign Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa.
Leicester’s Leonardo Ulloa heads at goal
Popular bookmakers SkyBet have slashed the odds on Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa moving to Swansea City, listing the Welsh side as new 6/4 favourites to sign the Argentine.
Ulloa, 30, moved to the King Power Stadium two years ago for a fee believed to be in the region of £8 million, and has gone on to make 69 Premier League appearances for the Foxes.
Leicester City’s Leonardo Ulloa in action
His future has been the subject of intense speculation over the summer, however, and now with the arrival of Ahmed Musa, he will likely see his first-team opportunities limited even further.
SkyBet list Aston Villa as second favourites to sign Ulloa after they drifted out to 10/1, while Derby County and Stoke City are tied third in the running at 12/1.
Leonardo Ulloa scores for Leicester City
Ulloa certainly still has a lot to offer, and would make a fantastic signing for Swansea, should a move come to fruition.
His powerful and imposing physique allows him to be a great focal point for his side’s attacks, and he would make a fantastic partner for the Swans’ other new recruit, Borja Baston, when he returns from injury.
