The 32-year old has signed a 2 year contract
Llorente is currently out of action due to injury
⚽ **TRANSFERS: English Premier League 2017/18** ⚽
Player: Fernando Llorente
Age: 32 years
Position: Centre Forward
To: Tottenham
From: Swansea City
Transfer Fee: £12 Million
Tottenham Hotspur's final week in the transfer market couldn't have gone better as they managed to secure 4 new additions within 4 days. They have concluded by adding Fernando Llorente to their squad.
Tottenham have finally brought in a quality back up option for striker Harry Kane and a £12 Million transfer is fairly reasonable. The Spaniard has played for major European clubs including Atletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Juventus & most recently with Swansea City helping them avoid relegation.
In his professional career, he has made 493 appearances, scoring an impressive 160 goals. Llorente along with Sigurdsson were the key performers to keep Swansea in the Premier League and the pair have left the club this summer, Llorente scored 15 goals for Swansea last season.
Llorente is dangerously good when it comes to scoring headed goals. He is a very different player in comparison to Harry Kane. Llorente is much more powerful with respect to his hold up play bringing a whole new dimension to the squad.
He may not get the same level of game time like last season but the manager will use him well in the league as well as European campaigns. All the best to him.
