Personally, I cannot see Fernando Llorente adapting to the Premier League.
Firstly, he is more a goal “poacher” than out and out striker. He lacks pace, therefore he is reliant of others to create the build up play. Llorente tends to lurk inside the opposition’s box, to snack happy on any morcels which fall his way. The problem Spurs have up front is having someone to feed the forwards. More recently Erik Lamela, who has become the subject of a possible move to Juventus, has acted as feeder. Harry Kane has not had that luxury too often, and has had to create chances for himself than wait for them to happen.
In all fairness, I cannot see Llorente getting much game time, aside from the Europa League. Apart from having been around awhile, why would Spurs opt for another, even older striker and expect miracles. Spurs would be better off going for Timo Werner from the Bundesliga. The pace may not be exactly the same, barring the physicality, but overall not too dissimilar.
No one is actually chasing Llorente which, in itself, must should have set off the alarm bells at WHL. Spurs would be utterly stupid to even think of swapping a slightly more run down 30 year old striker for a talented, skilful, creative 23 year old. I hope to God that Fernando Llorente did not pop up on Paul Mitchell’s black box.
Malfunction!! Malfunction!!
