It was not very long ago that Athletic Bilbao valued the striker at €35 million and teams in Europe were ready to shell out that kind of money. But time passed, no deal was struck and in what was a massive coup this summer, Fernando Llorente went for free to the Old Lady.

There is no denial that the Spain international’s form has dipped, but it’s just a matter of time before the 28-year-old recreates the magic and gets back to scoring big-time.

Paired alongside Carlos Tevez to lead the Juventus attack and backed by the midfield duo of Pirlo and Vidal, Llorente’s purple patch doesn’t seem too far away.

With 118 goals in 333 appearances for his club and the national team, Llorente boasts of a decent record and with him touching 28, an age strikers relish, much can be expected of the Spain forward.
