Chelsea willing to try again for Llorente if Giroud deal stalls

Published on: 30 January 2018

Chelsea are prepared to move for Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente this week.

The Sun says Llorente is back in Chelsea's sights – if they cannot land No1 target Olivier Giroud.

The Premier League champions are desperate to get a targetman for Antonio Conte but Giroud's departure from Arsenal is not straightforward.

Llorente is their back-up option to support Alvaro Morata in attack at Stamford Bridge.

Conte came close to signing the Spain forward in the summer but saw him move from Swansea to Tottenham at the last minute.

Spurs could easily get the £12m they paid for a player who has found the net twice since arriving.
