Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion have been linked with Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa in the January transfer window.

Leonardo Ulloa of Leicester City looks on prior to the Premier League match between Leicester City and Crystal Palace at The King Power Stadium on December 16, 2017 in Leicester, England.

Well-known Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague has claimed on social networking site Twitter that Leicester City are happy to let Leonardo Ulloa leave in the January transfer window.

Balague has also claimed that Aston Villa are among the clubs interested in the 31-year-old striker, and that Leicester want any interested side to sign him on a loan deal with an option to buy.

Villa are not the only club who are reportedly interested in signing Ulloa from Leicester in the January transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion are also interested in the Argentine striker.

Ulloa joined Leicester in 2014 after achieving success at Brighton and Almeria in Spain.

The 31-year-old is struggling for playing time at the Foxes at the moment, and he would be a good signing for Villa or Brighton.

The Argentine striker knows English football inside out, and if played to his strengths, then he could score some important goals between now and the end of the season.
