Cullen reunites with new Leicester boss Russell Martin, who coached him during a two-year spell at Swansea.
He is joined at King Power Stadium by Conor Chaplin, Christian McFarlane, and Alex McCarthy as the club's new arrivals.
Long Swansea Career
Cullen spent 19 years with Swansea, having joined their academy at age eight.
He made 207 senior appearances and scored 37 goals after his debut in August 2018 against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
He notably scored against rivals Cardiff City in April 2023, April 2024, and August 2024.
In the previous season, Cullen featured in 40 Championship matches, scoring five goals.
His best scoring season came in 2024–25, when he netted 12 times.
Capable of playing as a striker or advanced midfielder, Cullen leaves a significant gap in the Swansea dressing room.

Former Swansea assistant coach Vitor Matos praised Cullen's work ethic earlier in the year.
"He has this mentality, which I love, that if he's to play five minutes, he will play that five minutes trying to make an impact and trying to make that five minutes the best of his life," said Matos in February.
