Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is confident that Leonardo Ulloa will prove to be a good signing for the club.

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has backed new signing Leonardo Ulloa to be a success at the club.

The Argentine forward, 27, joined the Foxes on a four-year deal from Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday.

Ulloa scored 25 goals in 52 games during his time with Brighton, and Pearson is confident that he will be able to provide Leicester will plenty of attacking menace this season.

"We identified Leo as a player that could help us move forward quite some time ago," Pearson told the club's official website. "He complements the forwards we already have very well and his attributes broaden the options available to us, which will be important this season.

"I'm delighted we've been able to add him to the squad. He has adapted extremely well to the English game in a relatively short period of time and I'm sure he will have a great deal to offer us in the Premier League."

Leicester are back in action tonight when they travel to Ilkeston for a pre-season friendly.
