Llorente heading for Juventus medical

Serie A champions Juventus have revealed that Spanish striker Fernando Llorente will undergo a medical in Turin on Monday before being presented to the media on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old, who agreed to join the Italian outfit from Athletic Bilbao in January, will join Carlos Tevez in a new-look forward pair next season.

"The 28-year-old is scheduled to touch down at Turin's Caselle airport on Monday lunchtime before completing the required medical checks," read a statement on Juventus's official website.

"The press conference, to be held on Tuesday July 2 at Juventus Stadium, will get under way at 16:00CET."

Llorente scored just four goals in La Liga last season after spending much of the campaign out of the team.
