Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente comments on future

Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente has managed only two substitute appearances this season.

The Spaniard, who joined the club in 2017, has managed only 20 minutes of football in 2018-19. He came on as a sub against Barcelona on Wednesday night.

Llorente was signed as a backup striker for Harry Kane, but he has failed to impress at the north London club.

After the match, he has once again talked up the possibility of making a return to Athletic Bilbao at the end of the season.

The 33-year-old finished his debut campaign for the club with just five goals in 31 appearances, but he was overlooked by Mauricio Pochettino even when Harry Kane was on the sidelines last season.
