Everton in for Llorente

Everton are considering a move for Sevilla forward Fernando Llorente, according to the Daily Star.

With Romelu Lukaku’s future uncertain, the Toffees are on the lookout for a new forward and have identified the former Athletic Bilbao man as a potential target.

The thirty-one year old only moved to the La Liga outfit from Juventus last summer and scored seven goals in thirty-one appearances in all competitions, with three of those strikes coming or route to clinching the Europa League.

In three years with Juve, he racked up ninety-two appearances, scoring twenty-seven times and won three consecutive Serie A championships and the Copppa Itallia as well as playing in the 2014/15 Champions League defeat to Barcelona.

Internationally he has been capped twenty-four times for his country and was part of the squads that were triumphant at the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa and the 2012 European Championships in Poland and Ukraine.
