A deal between Chelsea and Swansea could be completed before the deadline for Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, according to Matt Law.

Chelsea have been in the market for strikers this transfer window, as Diego Costa wants to leave the club and is very unlikely to play for The Blues again.
They did sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid earlier in the window, but that leaves them with only Morata and Michy Batshuayi as their striker options and they need squad depth as they look to defend their Premier League title and compete in the Champions League.
Morata’s fellow Spaniard, Llorente, has been linked with a move to the club all window and now a deal looks very likely to be finalised before the deadline.
The 32-year-old scored 15 goals in 35 appearances for The Swans last season, as well as getting one assist, as Paul Clement and Llorente helped the club avoid relegation.
