Arsenal legend Ian Wright said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:24pm, January 21, 2019) that he feels sorry for Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente.

The former Arsenal striker said that Llorente has lost his confidence after watching the Spaniard in action during Tottenham’s 2-1 win against Fulham in the London derby on Sunday evening.

The 33-year-old former Swansea City striker scored an own goal and also missed a very good chance in the Premier League game at Craven Cottage in London.

Wright said about Llorente on The Monday Night Club on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:24pm, January 21, 2019): “You know something. I watched Llorente last night, and I really felt sorry for him.

“You are taking about a guy who we know that he has the capability of scoring in this league, we saw him do it with Swansea, but totally his confidence is gone. It’s totally gone.”

Finished at Tottenham Hotspur?

Llorente has struggled to make an impact at Tottenham since his move from Swansea City in the summer of 2017.

The Spaniard was signed as a back-up to star striker Harry Kane, but not many will have expected the former Juventus man to struggle as much as he has.

While it is unlikely that Spurs will sell Llorente in the January transfer window, it is hard to see the 33-year-old have a future at the North London outfit beyond the summer of 2019.
