Swansea preparing to bid ‘£10m for Leicester forward Leonardo Ulloa’

SWANSEA CITY are reportedly keen to sign Leicester City forward Leonardo Ulloa.

The Argentine striker could see his chances at the Premier League champions limited next season following the £16million arrival of Ahmed Musa, and the Swans are keen to splash out.

According to the Telegraph, the Welsh side’s head coach Francesco Guidolin is eyeing the former Brighton star as a possible replacement for Bafetimbi Gomis and Andre Ayew.

West Ham United are said to be keen to sign Gomis, who has scored just 13 times in 62 top flight games.

A bid for Ulloa is expected to be made later this month and he may well be tempted by an offer of first team football.

The 29-year-old star impressed for the Foxes against Swansea last season, netting twice in Leicester’s 4-0 home win in April.

As well as Gomis – who joined Swansea on a free from French outfit Lyon in 2014 – Swansea are also bracing themselves for the possible departure of Ayew, who West Ham have been linked with.

The Swans were thought to be interested in Hammers striker Enner Valencia and Liverpool star Danny Ings as possible replacements.

A swap deal involving Ayew and Valencia could be on the cards, but West Ham boss Slaven Bilic believes a £10million fee is too much for the Ghanaian.
