CONFIRMED! Leonardo Ulloa extends Leicester contract until 2019

Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa has signed a new contract with the club.

The 31-year-old has put pen to paper on a deal to keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2019.

Ulloa looked set to leave Leicester last season after accusing then-manager Claudio Ranieri of reneging on a promise that he could join another club.

However, since Craig Shakespeare's appointment as manager the Argentinian appears settled again, despite first-team opportunities seeming limited as one of six striker at the club.

"I am so happy because I have lived massive moments with this club and it makes me happy to stay here and fight to help the team and increase the club's history," Ulloa told the club's official website.
