The Tottenham Hotspur striker could be heading for the exit door this summer.

According to a report from Portuguese media outlet A Bola, Tottenham hitman Fernando Llorente is being linked with a move to AC Milan, Roma, Inter Milan, Galatasaray and Athletic Bilbao when his contract expires at the end of this month.

The 34-year-old joined Spurs from Swansea City in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £15 million according to BBC Sport, and he has gone on to score 13 goals in 66 appearances in all competitions for the north London outfit.

His contract is due to expire this summer, however, and as things stand, it seems unlikely that he will be offered a new deal by Tottenham.

Portuguese outlet A Bola claims that Llorente is a transfer target for five clubs this summer, including Italian giants AC Milan, Inter Milan and Roma.

Spurs undoubtedly need to bolster their attacking ranks this summer, and losing Llorente will not be a huge problem for Mauricio Pochettino, as long as he replaces the Spaniard with an improved version.

Llorente has been a decent servant for Tottenham, but there will probably not be too many Spurs fans who will be sad to see him leave.
