Sunderland are chasing Leicester City striker, but will their offer be enough?
Sunderland have submitted an offer of £5 million for Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa, The Mail report.
This is in conflict to The Sun‘s claims last night that the Black Cats could make a £11 million move for the Argentine.
Ulloa played a role in Leicester City’s title win last season, but has found his opportunities limited by the summer arrival of Islam Slimani.

Sunderland have been reliant on veteran Jermain Defoe up front this season and a recent injury to Victor Anichebe has hurt their options.
Ulloa has made 33 Premier League appearances from the bench over the past two seasons, and he would relish the opportunity to play more regularly.

Whether Sunderland’s reported £5 million offer is enough is yet to be established, but it would make sense that Leicester try to hold out for more.
