Nathan Dyer has compared Swans transfer target Leonardo Ulloa to former fan-favourite Michu.

The 28-year-old spent last season on loan at the Premier League champions playing and training alongside the Argentine who fired in some important goals during an historic season.

With the Swans in desperate need of a striker, nobody would be happier than Dyer if they managed to sign the Foxes' frontman.

"Ulloa's a great player," said Dyer.

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

"He's a great finisher and I loved playing with him. We had a good relationship and he's a good guy."

With Bafetimbi Gomis set to become the third striker to leave the club this summer when he eventually secures his loan move to Marseille, the striker stockpile will be at critical levels.

With the new owners on board, investment in the side is vital and the Swans winger believes that Ulloa would be a brilliant fit.

Dyer added: "He was frustrated with some of the chances he got at Leicester, but then everyone who was on the sidelines was like that.

"But then the team was doing so well that the team didn't change. I wouldn't have changed the team either.

"I've heard rumours and if he does decide to make the trip over, I'm more than happy for him to come. He would fit in nicely."

Swansea have made enquiries about Ulloa and a figure of £10 million is being banded about by various media outlets.

However, it sounds like it would take quite a move from the South Wales club to pry him away from the Midlands.

Yesterday he insisted he is happy at the King Power Stadium.

"Yes, I am happy because the group is very good," Ulloa told the Leicester Mercury.

"The team also, and the club is getting stronger. I am very happy here."
