Ex-Chelsea striker convinced Llorente deal already done

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes a deal is done for Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente.

Swansea boss Paul Clement yesterday insisted he'd had no enquiries - but Cascarino hinted a move could already be done.

He told Sky Sports: "That's the reason we now know why Llorente has come to Stamford Bridge.

"He's worked with him before but can he do the job Diego has done? Not so well, I'd imagine.

"They could still win the league but it's a massive blow to them. It makes the job far harder.

"Antonio Conte wants a happy group that's fighting in every corner.

"It has a massive impact on the Premier League title race."
