Leo Ulloa scored some important goals to help Leicester City lift the Premier League title last season, but his time at the King Power Stadium appears to be up.
The Argentine has not played for the club since the FA Cup third round victory over Everton on January 7, and has been linked with a move away from the club before the transfer window slams shut.
And, if we thought the former Brighton man was keen to fight for his place, that notion seems to have been put to bed by Ulloa's tweet attacking manager Claudio Ranieri.

Some had cast doubt on the legitimacy of the Twitter account in question, given its lack of a 'verified' tick, but it appears genuine as the club have used it in tweets about the player.
Perhaps Ulloa has been promised Twitter verification by another club and it has turned his head.

After joining from Brighton for a then club-record £8m in the summer of 2014, Ulloa top-scored for the club as they escaped relegation in the 2014/15 season.
He scored six league goals last season, including a dramatic last-minute penalty to equalise against West Ham United during the title run-in, but has scored just once this campaign and has seen his opportunities limited following the arrival of Islam Slimani.
