Leonardo Ulloa may be heading to Nottingham Forest, Leeds United should be all over this.
Let’s face it, Leeds United need a striker.
You could argue that they needed another goalscorer before the news about Kemar Roofe’s likely departure, so now they definitely need one to challenge Patrick Bamford up front.
And with a Premier League champion reportedly heading to the Championship, why aren’t Leeds in the race?
According to Marca, Nottingham Forest and Reading want to sign free agent Leonardo Ulloa following his release by Pachuca.
Ulloa, who turned 33 a couple of weeks ago, still has enough in the tank to be an asset for the Whites and they should definitely hijack their rivals’ reported move for him.
He’s getting on in years, but speed was never a vital part of his game and therefore losing a yard or two of pace isn’t going to be detrimental for him.
Oh, and the Argentine, who won the Premier League with Leicester City in 2016, happens to be a proven Championship striker after a spell with Brighton.
Bamford scored a header in Leeds’ opener at Bristol City this past weekend, but he isn’t renowned for his aerial talent. Ulloa, on the other hand, is and there’s a lot of United fans who would love him at Elland Road.
