Fernando Llorente is aiming to get off the mark for Tottenham this evening.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente is aiming to finally score his first goal for the club this evening.
Llorente is likely to start Tottenham’s Champions League game against Apoel Nicosia, with rotation inevitable.
Spurs have already qualified as group winners, and the game is a dead rubber, other than for Spurs to get some minutes out of their fringe players and put them to the test.
Llorente has been a big disappointment since his summer arrival from Swansea City, and is yet to get on the scoresheet.
There could be no better opportunity than against Apoel, and he is looking forward to the opportunity with Harry Kane set to be rested.
Llorente’s underwhelming performances have prompted a frustrated reaction from Tottenham fans, and his simple message prompted a split response.
Here is a look at a cross section of replies to the Spaniard’s message…
The pressure is on the Spaniard to score, but even an assist would buy him some time.
Spurs need him to start proving he can be a reliable option during the busy festive period, and prevent giving them a difficult decision to make in January.
