Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa responds to Swansea interest

Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa has cooled talk of a move to Swansea City.

Top-flight rivals Swansea have reportedly approached Leicester about the availability of the former Brighton hitman and could spent £15m on him.

But Ulloa insists he's happy to remain at the King Power Stadium, even if it means he has to continue his role of super sub.

"Yes, I am happy because the group is very good," he said. "The team also, and the club is getting stronger. I am very happy here.

"I like to play every game if I can, from the start, but if I can't start then I want to make a contribution, I want to help the team.

"Always I am ready to play. I work every week for that. I like to play and it is always helpful when the player feels important in the group."
