Spanish striker Fernando Llorente and Italian centre-back Angelo Ogbonna have been tipped to move to White Hart Lane. The latest story suggests Spurs are keen on bringing in the experienced duo to N17 to add quality and depth to the squad for next season. It’s believed that Spurs are prepared to pay £10million for both players.

The 30-year-old, Llorente would be able to offer Tottenham an effective alternative to Harry Kane as and when required. In total Llorente has scored 138 goals in his club career to date. He excelled the Football World with Bilbao a few years ago, since moving to Juventus 2 years ago he’s struggled to replicate that level of form but he still remains a talented striker and Spurs could do with him.

As for Ogbonna, the 27-year-old centre-back would bring some additional experience to Tottenham’s back-line were he to arrive. It could give Spurs a dilemma though, considering they’ve already signed Kevin Wimmer this summer and with Jan Vertonghen, Federico Fazio and Eric Dier all likely to stay Mauricio Pochettino may not move for yet another centre-back, unless someone is sold.
