The Champions League final on June 1 could be Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente’s last game for the club.

The veteran Spaniard’s brother and agent Jesus Llorente has told Radio Kiss Kiss that it would be ‘nice to live an experience at Napoli’.

As relayed by Calciomercato, Jesus said: “Napoli? When there are rumours, there’s always a grain of truth. We are Juventus fans, but it would be nice to live an experience at Napoli.”

Llorente is out of contract at the end of the season, and there has been no talk about a possible extension.

Throughout the season, speculation has been rife about Llorente’s future.

The former Athletic Bilbao legend has constantly played second fiddle to Harry Kane during his time at the club, and is sometimes even overlooked in favour of Lucas Moura and Heung-min Son.

TBR’s view

Llorente has had his uses for Spurs and did really well when he came on against Ajax on Wednesday, but surely the time is right to move him on this summer.

Too often the 34-year-old has failed to impact games, and it is little wonder Mauricio Pochettino often prefers the pace of Moura and Son.

A return to Italy would suit Llorente, where the pace of play is a lot slower than that of the Premier League.
