Former Premier League winner Leonardo Ulloa is being linked with a return to the Championship at Forest or the Royals.
Leonardo Ulloa could be on his way back to England this summer with Nottingham Forest and Reading interested in the veteran striker, according to Marca.
At the age of 33, you might have expected that we had seen the last of Ulloa on British shores.
A 6ft 2ins Argentine target man, he was a huge hit at Brighton and Hove Albion, dominating Championship defences with his fearsome aerial ability before sealing an £8 million move to Leicester City in the summer of 2014 (BBC).
Ulloa was even part of that legendary Leicester side who stunned the world by lifting the Premier League title three years ago before returning across the Atlantic with Mexican outfit Pachuca.
But with the South American’s contract coming to an end after a 14-goal season with The Gophers, reports have emerged suggesting that Ulloa could be on his way back to England’s second tier.
Nottingham Forest are apparently interested and so to do a Reading side who are looking for a partner for new loan signing and fellow Argentine Lucas Boye.
But why have Forest in particular suddenly turned their attention to a 33-year-old who’s time in the English game looked over two seasons ago?
Well, Sabri Lamouchi’s side certainly lacked a presence in attack during their opening day defeat to West Brom so perhaps Ulloa is a risk worth taking on a free transfer.
