Chelsea are now reportedly interested in signing Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente is reportedly interesting London rivals Chelsea once again after Antonio Conte failed to lure the Spaniard to west London in the summer – and Spurs fans have urged their club to sell.
The Independent claims Chelsea are eyeing a move to sign the 32-year-old, after failing to have any kind of real impact under Mauricio Pochettino since his £12million move to Spurs on deadline day from Swansea City.
Llorente moved to Spurs after scoring 15 goals in just 35 games for a side struggling at the foot of the Premier League in Swansea with chances at a premium, but as back-up to Harry Kane, he has scored just two goals.
Chelsea are said to be in the market for a new striker with Alvaro Morata struggling to prove his worth at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from Real Madrid. West Ham United’s Andy Carroll is also interesting Antonio Conte.
Tottenham fans have reacted on Twitter to the news that Chelsea could lure Llorente away from Spurs this month, with the majority in agreement that the former Juventus striker should be sold by Pochettino.
One fan even suggested that Spurs should “sell Llorente and buy Timo Werner”, while some others want Michy Batshuayi in return.
