Swansea City 'agree deal to sign Sevilla striker Fernando Llorente'

Swansea City reportedly agree a deal with Sevilla for striker Fernando Llorente.

Swansea City have reportedly agreed a deal with Sevilla to sign striker Fernando Llorente.

The 31-year-old, who has played for Athletic Bilbao and Juventus in his career, has been expected to leave Sevilla this summer due to limited appearances last season.

Llorente made just 19 starts in all competitions, but he reportedly managed to attract interest from Real Sociedad and the lucrative Chinese Super League.

The player's agent Chus Llorente was recently quoted in the Spanish press as saying that his client will stay at Sevilla.

However, according to Sky Sports News, a deal has been agreed between Swansea City and Everton, which has given Llorente the green light to fly to England and undergo a medical tomorrow.

Swansea are in need of attacking options following the departures of Alberto Paloschi and Bafetimbi Gomis.
