Fernando Llorente 'to leave Tottenham Hotspur in summer'

Fernando Llorente has reportedly made clear that he intends to leave Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season after being given limited chances.

The 33-year-old has provided back-up to Harry Kane during his maiden campaign with the Lilywhites, having arrived from Swansea City last summer for a fee of around £12m.

Llorente has been used 28 times by Mauricio Pochettino this term, but he has started just one Premier League game - the 2-0 win over former club Swansea in early January.

According to the London Evening Standard, Pochettino now plans to go without a recognised striker up top during Kane's injury absence, which could span a couple of months.

A frustrated Llorente will be given the chance to move on in the summer, which the report indicates he will likely take up.
