Llorente wants to star against Chelsea, says Swansea boss Clement

After being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window, the Spain international is eager to make his mark on Saturday

Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente is hungry to impress against Chelsea after being linked with a move to the Premier League leaders, according to Paul Clement.

Llorente, 31, was heavily linked with a switch to Chelsea in January, in a move which would have seen him reunite with former Juventus coach Antonio Conte.

But the Spain international ended up staying at Swansea, the club he joined in August.

Head coach Clement says Llorente, who has eight league goals this season, is eager to star at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
