Swansea boss Paul Clement insists he has faith in record signing Borja Baston as he prepares to face Tottenham without Fernando Llorente

Swansea boss Paul Clement insists he has faith in the club's record signing Borja Baston as he prepares to be without top scorer Fernando Llorente again.

Llorente missed Sunday's goalless stalemate against relegation rivals Middlesbrough with an ankle injury, and the 11-goal striker is unlikely to be fit to start at home to in-form Tottenham on Wednesday.

Clement preferred January signing Jordan Ayew to Borja against Middlesbrough, keeping the £15.5million Spaniard on the bench as he became the first Swansea manager not to make a single substitution in a Premier League game.

Borja has started only four league matches since joining from Atletico Madrid last August, with his game-time having become even more limited since Clement became Swansea head coach at the start of January.
