5 players Tottenham Hotspur should sell this summer

#1 Fernando Llorente

Fernando Llorente

Fernando Llorente might be 33 years old now, but he still has a great deal to offer to a club. He was bought from Swansea last season for £13.5m in a deal which surprised almost everyone.

At Swansea, Llorente featured in 33 of 38 Premier League games, scoring 15 goals. He was their star man and scored for fun, so his decision to move to Spurs was an odd one, especially as he now languishes on the bench. Granted, money may have been a big factor in why he chose the Spurs bench over playing for Swansea, but football should be the priority for someone of his calibre.

Llorente is used sparingly at Tottenham, usually featuring in small cup ties or as a late sub in the league. The bottom line, though, is that Llorente isn't a player Spurs need, and his wages are speculated to be around £90,000-per-week. He is considered by many as dead weight, and Spurs would do well to offload him before he saps anymore of the wage budget.

Where might Fernando Llorente go?

Llorente could still do a job for a mid-table Premier League side, but the most likely destination would be a team in La Liga. He hasn't been linked with any clubs and seems content in London, but as far as the future of his career is concerned, the flame has begun to dwindle.
