Leicester boss Pearson happy with early Ulloa impact

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is pleased with the first days of working with record signing Leo Ulloa.

The £8 million capture from Brighton has impressed Pearson.

"I think the players recognise his qualities. He won some headers today that we probably have not had the ability to do in the past," said Pearson to the Leicester Mercury.

"His hold-up play is very, very good as well. It is about where we are in two weeks' time in terms of the players being ready for the season and he has fitted into the squad very well.

"There is also the question of understanding. Players don't just fit in overnight. We know what his qualities are and he complements the players we have here fantastically well.

"I am really pleased that he is in the squad and I'm sure he will play a big part in terms of scoring goals for us this season."
