Leicester City poised to…

  • Kilgetty native Cullen entered Swansea’s academy at eight and made his first-team debut in August 2018, a 1-0 EFL Cup loss to Crystal Palace under Graham Potter.

  • He netted his first Swansea goal on the final day of the extended 2019-20 season in a 4-1 victory over Reading, a result that secured Steve Cooper’s side a Championship play-off place.

  • Cullen has scored 37 goals in 207 appearances for Swansea across all competitions.

  • The Swans hope to keep last season’s Championship top scorer, Zan Vipotnik, and to use former Celtic striker Adam Idah more regularly after his injury-affected first campaign.

  • Having struggled to cement the starting No 9 role, the 27-year-old Cullen has often been deployed deeper, mirroring his role for Wales under Craig Bellamy.

  • Vitor Matos’ squad has already been strengthened this summer by wingers Elijah Just and Moussa Yeo—who can also play as attacking midfielders—along with Stephen Welsh, Joseph Opoku, and Leo Walta.
