Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente has revealed his desire to return to Athletic before his career comes to an end.
The 34-year-old is firmly behind Harry Kane in the pecking order at the club and found himself heavily linked with a move away in January. However, Llorente remained with Tottenham to replace Kane, who suffered an ankle injury in mid-January which kept him out of action for over a month.

Acting as a backup to Kane, Llorente has made 52 appearances in his time with Mauricio Pochettino's side, registering 12 goals and five assists in all competitions.
However, 21 of his outings have lasted less than ten minutes, and he has started just four Premier League matches, three of which have come in the last five games as Kane was forced into a period on the sidelines. With the England man now fully fit, Llorente has found himself demoted to the bench once again.
