Tottenham could re-sign Fernando Llorente after striker left on a free transfer

Tottenham could boost their attacking options by re-signing Fernando Llorente on a free transfer.

Llorente, 34, is a free agent after his £100,000-a-week Spurs contract expired on June 30 and the club has offered him a new one-year deal on reduced terms.

The Spaniard, who is not part of Spurs' pre-season trip to Singapore and Shanghai, is now taking his time to consider his options, with Fiorentina among the overseas clubs hoping to sign him.

The World Cup winner, who is open to a return to Spain, scored just twice in the Premier League in two seasons following a £15million move from Swansea but bagged crucial goals against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City in Spurs' run to the Champions League Final last term.

Speaking at the start of the club’s pre-season tour in Singapore, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino admitted he was "happy" with the squad at present.

"I told Daniel during the flight from London that I will be happy with the squad that you are going to provide me to work with. I'm always happy. I'm a happy man, working with 25 players, always."
