Swansea and Leicester linked with Nigeria forward

Skysports.com understands Swansea and Leicester are targeting Almeria forward Kalu Uche. The Nigeria international has been linked with a move away from the Spanish side following their relegation to the second tier last season. Uche arrived at Almeria from Polish outfit Wisla Krakow in 2005 and has since notched up over 170 appearances for the club. The 28-year-old, capped 31 times for the Super Eagles, also spent time on loan at Ligue 1 side Bordeaux before moving to Spain. Premier League new-boys Swansea have made no secret of their desire to strengthen before the campaign gets underway, while Foxes boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is keen to bolster his attacking options. Uche was also linked with a move to England last summer, when Fulham and Hull City were thought to be interested.
