Llorente backs Conte for Premier League success

Having played under Antonio Conte at Juventus, Swansea's Fernando Llorente expects him to win the Premier League with Chelsea.

Fernando Llorente is backing his former coach Antonio Conte to win the Premier League with Chelsea this season, but hopes Swansea can beat the Blues on Sunday.

The Spanish forward played under Conte at Juventus, winning Serie A in 2013-14 before the head coach moved on to the Italy national team job.

And now Llorente, who joined Swansea last month, is expecting the 47-year-old to thrive in England.

"I think Conte will be a success at Chelsea," he told the Swans' matchday programme.
