Talk Sport are today reporting that Fernando Llorente has caught the attention of a number of English Premier League sides after admitting he could leave Athletic Bilbao in the summer.
It seems as though Liverpool and Arsenal are the two teams from England that are keen on signing the forward, who has been the subject of a lot of transfer speculation recently.
However, Juventus are the big favourites to secure Llorente’s services in the New Year – but the Spaniard will keep his options open.
It has been a strange summer for the 27-year-old, but he made his first appearance for Bilbao this season on Sunday and got himself on the score-sheet.
The forward’s contract runs out next year, so the Basque Country club are likely to offload their star man in January to avoid letting him go for free.
Liverpool and Arsenal both seem to be keeping tabs on Llorente though and will look to push the Serie A side to chase his signature.
There is of course plenty of time for this to change and all three parties may wait until Llorente is a free agent before making a move.
Where will he end up and when will he leave?
We shall see.
