The agent of Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente says the striker is happy at the club despite his slow start.

Llorente signed for Tottenham on deadline day in August, and took until December to score his first goal for the club, against APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League.

Llorente’s brother and agent, speaking to Tuttomercatoweb, has blamed his slow start on an arm injury.

Jesus Llorente said: “He’s very happy and happy, he’s a big city and a big club with a lot of aspirations.

“It was not easy at first, the wound in his arm greatly delayed his physical preparation.”

Fernando Llorente of Tottenham Hotspur comes on during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City at Wembley Stadium on September 16, 2017 in London, England.

Llorente also faces the dilemma of whether to celebrate if he scores against Juventus in their upcoming Champions League ties, but his mind is already apparently made up.

His brother said: “Obviously, like any professional, he wants to score and score for his team but I’m sure that if he does he will not celebrate.”

Llorente scored 15 Premier League goals for Swansea last season and Tottenham clearly have not seen the best of him yet.

But even if his league struggles continue, all will be forgiven if he scores a crucial goal against former side Juventus in the Champions League last 16.
