Clive Allen raves about Tottenham Hotspur’s new signing Fernando Llorente

Former Tottenham Hotspur player and club legend, Clive Allen, has labelled Fernando Llorente’s deadline-day move to north London as “fantastic acquisition” for the club.

The Spanish striker joined Spurs on the deadline day from Swansea City for a fee in the region of £12 million, as reported by Sky Sports.

Llorente enjoyed a superb 2016/17 Premier League season for the Welsh club, scoring 15 goals. However, he is likely to play a back up role for England international Harry Kane, who scored 29 goals in the Premier League last season.

In fact, Kane has kept the Golden Boot in England over the past two seasons.
