Tottenham are lining up a January move for Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly lining up a £7m move for Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente next month.

The Spain international has not featured very often for Bilbao this season after refusing to sign a new contract last summer.

Llorente has since confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of his contract and Bilbao may opt to sell in January rather than lose him for nothing in the summer.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas is keen to boost his forward options, with Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor the only recognised strikers in the squad.
