Tottenham tempted to bid for Basque frontman Fernando Llorente?

Tottenham (16/1 with Coral for a top four finish) are believed to be tracking Juventus frontman Fernando Llorente, as Mauricio Pochettino plans to supplement his striking options for next season.

The Old Lady attacker arrived in Italy on a free transfer back in 2013, and is now believed to be valued at £11m by the Turin team after striking 25 times in 77 appearances.

Big Basque centre forward Llorente has made 24 league outings this season, but has only bagged five goals for the Italian giants (7/1 to lift the Champions League), and his poor return could see him sacrificed in summer.

The usually lethal Spaniard now has to compete with younger compatriot Alvaro Morata, as well as top scorer Carlos Tevez, though still clocked up plenty of playing time.

Should Massimiliano Allegri also look to shake-up his strikeforce, however, the brilliant Basque would likely be first to go, with Pochettino apparently ready to pounce.

Pamplona-born poacher Llorente would provide Pochettino with both an experienced partner, and a rotation option, to support striking starlet Harry Kane.

Recent England cap Kane has carried the goal burden for his club this campaign, despite being just 21, and the addition of Llorente to White Hart Lane ranks could ease the pressure significantly.

With Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor, who have just three Premier League strikes between them this season, both expected to be axed, Tottenham certainly need at least one new striker, and the 30-year-old target man would fit the bill.

Blessed with height, strength, technique and aerial ability, the Spanish sharpshooter should slot seamlessly into Premier League life, should Spurs snare the striker.
