Spurs have bid accepted for Fernando Llorente - the latest

31 ago 2017

There could be another twist in the tale surrounding the future of Spanish striker Fernando Llorente after reports this morning claim that Swansea City have accepted a bid from Spurs for the 32-year-old.

BBC Sport reporter David Ornstein has tweeted that the North London side have nipped in to try to snatch the player away from capital rivals Chelsea who looked odds-on to get their man. This does not mean that the champions are out of the race however with Ornstein suggesting that a counter bid from Stamford Bridge is imminent.
