Fernando Llorente's future is at Swansea... but Gylfi Sigurdsson is in limbo, admits Paul Clement

Paul Clement insists Fernando Llorente will be staying at Swansea after admitting the club are in 'limbo' over the Gylfi Sigurdsson transfer saga.

As Swansea and Everton remain in talks to break the deadlock over Sigurdsson's protracted transfer to Goodison Park, Clement believes Llorente will not be following the Icelandic playmaker out of the exit door at the Liberty Stadium.

The Spain World Cup winner is currently injured after fracturing his arm in a cycling accident while on holiday last month and will miss the opening game of the Premier League season at Southampton on Saturday.

But head coach Clement says the 32-year-old targetman - Swansea's top scorer last season with 15 goals - will remain at the club, despite reported interest from champions Chelsea and a possible reunion with his former Juventus boss Antonio Conte.
