Chelsea close in on Llorente

Chelsea are on the verge of signing Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, but a deal hinges on whether the Welsh club can complete a deal for Wilfried Bony.

A deal to bring Llorente to Stamford Bridge could be announced on Wednesday afternoon after the clubs held talks on Tuesday evening.

Swansea, however, will only let their star striker leave if they can get a deal for Manchester City forward Wilfried Bony finalised before Thursday evening’s transfer deadline.

Bony had a two year spell with the Swans between 2013 and 2015 before he joined City for £25m.

Llorente, on the other hand, has been on Antonio Conte’s radar for a while now. The Premier League champions failed in their attempts to sign the Spanish striker back in the January transfer window.

Conte sees the 32-year-old as the perfect match for Alvaro Morata and hopes to get the deal done sooner rather than later.
