Leicester City Close in on Swansea's Wales Forward Cullen

Leicester City is reportedly close to signing Swansea City's Wales forward Liam Cullen. The 27-year-old has two years left on his contract with the Swans.

What's the Situation?

Leicester City are in advanced talks to sign Swansea City forward Liam Cullen. The Wales international played under current Foxes boss Russell Martin at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Why it Matters for Leicester City

Cullen has scored 37 goals in 207 Swansea appearances across all competitions. He has also played for Wales under Craig Bellamy, where he has often featured in a deeper role.

What Comes Next?

The Swans are hoping to keep hold of last season's Championship top scorer Zan Vipotnik and use former Celtic striker Adam Idah more consistently following his injury-hit debut campaign. Cullen's inability to be a regular starting number nine has often led him to feature in a deeper role.
