Leicester City should consider a bold move for the Tottenham Hotspur striker this month.
Leicester boss Claude Puel will be determined to bolster his ranks at the King Power Stadium this summer, in an attempt to guide his side to an improvement upon their ninth placed finish in the Premier League table last season.
One particular area where the Frenchman will want to improve is his centre-forward department, and the addition of a target man type striker to help compliment the skills of Jamie Vardy will surely feature highly on his list of priorities.
With this in mind, the Foxes should consider a move for Tottenham hitman Fernando Llorente, with the Spaniard facing an uncertain future in north London.
Every Love Island contestant if they were an England player – World Cup!
The 33-year-old joined Spurs from Swansea City in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £12 million, but he struggled to establish himself with Mauricio Pochettino’s side, although it could be argued that he wasn’t given ample opportunity to prove himself.
A move to the east Midlands could be just what Llorente needs to help reinvigorate his flagging career, and he could prove to be a real asset for Leicester.
Standing at 6ft 4in tall, the Spaniard is incredibly strong in the air, and he would act as a fantastic focal point from which the Foxes could build their attacking play through.
He is also an accomplished finisher having scored 165 career goals, and his experience of playing at the very highest level would surely be a real asset for Leicester.
Llorente could be the ideal strike partner for Jamie Vardy, and he would surely help bring the best out of the England international.
