Chelsea set to sign Fernando Llorente on loan, deal agreed with Swansea

Swansea striker Fernando Llorente is expected to join Chelsea on loan this month.

Daily Star are reporting that Antonio Conte’s side have agreed on a loan deal with the Welsh outfit for Llorente. The former Juventus striker will serve as a backup to Diego Costa now. Apparently, Swansea are close to signing Aaron Leya Iseka and therefore they are willing to let go of Llorente.

The Spaniard has a similar playing style to that of Diego Costa and is experienced enough to be his backup.
