Chelsea ponder reviving bid for Spurs striker Llorente

Chelsea could revive a bid for Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente.

The Daily Mail says the Blues are keeping an eye on Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke, despite his lack of goals in the Premier League this season.

The Belgian forward has managed just one goal for the Eagles this season, but Antonio Conte is desperate to bolster his attacking ranks in this January window.

Another name discussed by Chelsea is Fernando Llorente, who rejected the club in the summer in favour of a move to Tottenham.

But the Spanish striker has found first-team opportunities hard to come by at Wembley and may consider leaving in this window.

Llorente would be ineligible to play in the Champions League should he head to west London, having played in the competition with Spurs this season.
