Tottenham Hotspur in for Fernando Llorente?

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made a deadline-day bid for Athletic Bilbao frontman Fernando Llorente.

The 27-year-old's contract at the Basque club will expire next summer and he has already told last year's Europa League finalists that he will not sign a new deal.

Spanish radio station COPE have this afternoon said that Spurs have offered an initial €12.5 (£10m) for the striker.

Italian champions Juventus have been heavily linked with the Spanish international, although the Turin club have now made a move for Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner.
