'I would like to go back' - Llorente wants out of Spurs for Bilbao return

The Tottenham veteran's time in the Premier League could be up as he targets a transfer back to his former club in January

Fernando Llorente wants a return to Athletic Bilbao after failing to make an impact at Tottenham.

The Spanish striker moved from Swansea to White Hart Lane in summer of 2017 for £13.5 million but has scored just once in 17 Premier League appearances - all but one from from bench.

Harry Kane's dominant position as Spurs' main goalscorer has meant limited opportunity for the 33-year-old and he has spoken openly of his desire to move to the club where he was a big favourite between 2005 and 2013.
