Llorente Linked Again With Chelsea Move
This is a rumour that it seems will not pass as this morning's papers are once again linking Fernando Llorente with a move to Chelsea and a reunion with his former manager Antonio Conte.
The Daily Star reports that Chelsea could make a move for Llorente if Michy Batshuayi leaves the club.
Chelsea are considering whether to send Batshuayi out on loan and he is reported to be a target for both West Ham and Crystal Palace.
Llorente - who has scored six goals since joining in the summer - himself said that he knew nothing about the move earlier in the week when he told a Spanish news agency "The truth is that I don’t know anything about it.
‘"Now I am focused exclusively on Swansea, in the complicated situation that we have ahead.
"My experience with Conte at Juve was fantastic.
"He is the best coach I have ever had in my career and I wish him the best.
"I was sure that when he arrived to the Premier League he would do well because he is a winner and he works very well.”

Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
