Leicester striker Ulloa drawing inspiration from past Argie stars

Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa is drawing inspiration from the Premier League's past Argentine stars.

Ulloa hopes to become a Premier League hit like Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and ex-Manchester United and West Ham forward Carlos Tevez.

"There is a good tradition of Argentinian players in England but, for me, I am not at that level yet of Aguero, Tevez and now Cambiasso," he said.

"When I watch games, I try to copy their moves and their style.

"When Tevez stops the ball and shields it from the defenders, I try to learn that, how to lean into the defenders. I am a different player, I am bigger, but I try to learn different things to be a better player and help the team."
