Liverpool & West Ham want Llorente

According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool and West Ham United are set to battle it out in order to land the signature of Diego Llorente. The 25 year old began his journey in the beautiful game with Real Madrid, starting off at the youth level in 2002. He was able to rise up through the ranks all the way through to 2017, but he was unable to make much of a dent in the first team picture. As a result he was sold to Real Sociedad, where he’s been able to have a lot more success. He’s been in particularly good form this season, although reports suggest that he has a buy-back clause with Real that is believed to be worth around €25 million. That could put a dagger in the hopes of both Liverpool and the Hammers, who would otherwise both fancy their chances of bringing him over to English football.
