Chelsea must pay £25m to land Llorente

Tottenham forward Fernando Llorente has really struggled to make much of an impact since his arrival and has been subject of a move elsewhere with Chelsea one of his suitors.

It’s been reported that Mauricio Pochettino will only accept bids of £25m for the player who has started just one Premier League game this season.

The Spanish striker had a brilliant season at Swansea City last season and played a key role in helping to keep them up but has struggled to make any kind of impact and is well down the pecking order with Harry Kane playing so well and Heung-Min Son a capable stand-in.

Chelsea may well make a move for the player which they missed out on in the summer if their first plan to bring in Arsenal’s Oliver Giroud to the club falls through in the last few moments of the transfer window.

With Michy Batshuayi heading to Dortmund on loan, Chelsea want a new striker to serve as Alvaro Morata’s backup and Llorente is an old favourite of Antonio Conte’s dating back to their time together at Juventus.
