Swans' Llorente hopes for Spain return

Fernando Llorente hopes to force his way back into Spain's squad by impressing for new club Swansea City.

The 31-year-old striker, who was a part of his country's 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012-winning squads, joined the Swans from Sevilla.

He now hopes to emulate former Swan Michu in playing for Spain while plying his club trade at the Liberty Stadium.

"I would like to return to play for Spain, it would be a very special thing for me," said Llorente.

"I would like to get back into the national side and I know that I will need to play well for Swansea all season if I want to do that.
