Dyer keen to reunite with Ulloa at Swansea

Swansea City winger Nathan Dyer has said that he would be delighted to link up with former Leicester City teammate Leonardo Ulloa at the Liberty Stadium.

Ulloa is understood to be concerned by a possible lack of playing time with the Premier League champions next season following the summer arrival of club-record signing Ahmed Musa.

Swansea have enquired as to the availability of the striker, and Dyer drew comparisons between the Argentine and former Swansea frontman Michu, who scored 22 goals during a memorable debut campaign for the Swans in 2012-13.

"[Ulloa's] a great player. I loved playing with him we had a good relationship he's a good guy," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"He has the same attributes as Michu had. He's calm on the ball, has great presence and he's a great finisher.

"If he does decide to make the trip to Wales I'd more than welcome him. He'd be a great addition to the squad and he'll fit in nicely."

Ulloa is thought to be valued at around £15m, despite Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri insisting that he is not for sale.
