Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa has joined Mexican side Pachuca on a permanent deal.

Ulloa scored 20 goals in 101 appearances for Leicester after joining them in the summer of 2014 from Brighton.

The Argentine played a part in their 2015/16 Premier League title-winning season. He made 29 appearances and scored six goals.

Those goals included an 89th-minute winner in their 1-0 home victory against Norwich and a 90th-minute penalty to make it 2-2 against West Ham when Leicester were down to 10 men.
