Tottenham Hotspur’s Fernando Llorente is looking ahead to this

Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action this weekend, as they travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton, with new signings in the ranks.

Spurs have endured a mixed start to the season, beating Newcastle United on the opening weekend of the season before losing to Chelsea and drawing with Burnley at Wembley Stadium.

Mauricio Pochettino will hope for another away win this weekend as he takes his side to Merseyside to take on Everton, and he may be able to call upon deadline day signings Serge Aurier and Fernando Llorente.

Aurier arrived from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day to boost Pochettino’s options at right back, though he may be too tired from international duty with the Ivory Coast to play, meaning Llorente could be the only deadline day addition to make his debut this weekend.

The striker, snapped up from Swansea City, has been brought in to provide cover and competition for Harry Kane in the Spurs attack, providing Pochettino with a target man and a proven goalscorer having found the net 15 times last season.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, where Llorente could make his first Spurs appearance, the Spaniard has taken to Twitter to post a photo of himself in training alongside fellow new signing Juan Foyth.

Foyth, 19, arrived from Estudiantes last month having emerged as one of the top young prospects in Pochettino’s native Argentina, and the defender looks set for a bright future in North London, after Spurs won the race for his signature.

As a teenager with no Premier League experience, it seems unlikely that Foyth will be involved against Everton, but he will be hoping to gain experience in training from the likes of Llorente, who have played at a high level for many years.

Many Spurs fans responded by welcoming Llorente to North London, believing that he will come off the bench to score against Everton this weekend, with Tottenham’s new boys hoping to hit the ground running.
