Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed his players were so excited by the signing of striker Fernando Llorente that he received text messages as the deal was sealed.
Llorente, who chose a deadline-day move to Spurs over Chelsea, arrives with a fine pedigree including spells at Juventus and Athletic Bilbao and a World Cup winner's medal with Spain.
'It's amazing. Hugo Lloris was in the national team and sent a text to me, "Gaffer, it's true about Llorente?"
'I said "Yes, we sign Llorente".
