Tottenham's Fernando Llorente Targets January Exit, Return to Athletic Bilbao

Fernando Llorente has expressed his desire to return to former club Athletic Bilbao in January, but he said a deal will depend on Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy.

The former Juventus and Swansea City man has played a minimal role for Spurs since moving to London, and he told Cadena Ser (h/t Goal):

"I would like to go back to Athletic. My priority is to feel important in the team. If I have the opportunity and can talk to them, for me, yes, I would like to go back. Leaving in the winter market does not depend on me, Athletic would have to talk to Tottenham and Levy.
