Two Tottenham Hotspur players have turned the page on their moves to the club.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente has proved his quality by stepping up in Harry Kane’s absence.
Spurs signed the Spaniard in 2017 for £14 million from Swansea City.
His first season was a struggle, and he got off on the wrong note after arriving unfit.
He failed to dislodge Harry Kane from Tottenham’s starting XI, but this was not what he was bought for.
Instead he was signed so that in case of emergency – an injury to Kane – he could step up and lead the line.
After his recent run in the team with Kane out injured, Llorente has proved his quality.
He has three goals and three assists in his last seven games. Tottenham could not have asked for more from the 33-year-old.
Llorente’s success has transformed the perception of his Tottenham spell, following Moussa Sissoko’s adaptation this season.
Sissoko is in his third season at the club after his £30 million move from Newcastle, and has emerged as a key player.
If you had said to Tottenham fans at the start of the season that they would be relying on Llorente and Sissoko as key contributors with Kane and Dele Alli out, supporters would fear the worst.
Despite Kane and Alli’s quality, the presence of Llorente and Sissoko is one fans are increasingly comfortable with.
