Chelsea are closing in on the £15million signing of Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish paper AS claim that Swansea are trying to sign Wilfried Bony, who was with the Welsh outfit from 2013-15, from Manchester City before letting go of their Spanish forward.

Llorente has been on Chelsea's radar for a while now, with Antonio Conte having already tried to sign him back in the January transfer window.
