Swansea City’s Fernando Llorente will be an excellent signing for Everton.

Popular bookmakers BETVictor have installed Everton as one of the favourites in the race to sign Swansea’s Spanish striker Fernando Llorente.

The 32-year-old is a product of fabled Athletic Bilbao’s youth system, and played several seasons in various junior levels at the club.

He made his senior debut for the Basque club in 2005, and scored 118 goals for them in nine seasons before moving to Juventus in 2013.

He joined Swansea City in 2016 on a two-year deal, and scored 15 goals for the club, playing a major role in helping them avoid relegation.

The Spaniard, who made 24 international appearances for Spain and was part of the side that won the FIFA World Cup in 2010, is a vastly experienced player and any good side would love to have him in their squad.

BETVictor believe that Llorente could be plying his trade away from the Liberty Stadium this summer, listing Everton as 8/1 favourites to obtain his signature.

Ronald Koeman is looking to sign a physically strong striker, who is good in the air and can function effectively as a target man, and Llorente fits the bill perfectly.
