Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says his players are excited by the arrival of Fernando Llorente.

Former Swansea City striker Llorente, who chose a deadline-day move to Spurs over Chelsea, arrives with a fine pedigree including spells at Juventus and Athletic Bilbao and a World Cup winner's medal with Spain.

"It's amazing. Hugo Lloris was in the national team and sent a text to me, 'Gaffer, it's true about Llorente?'" recalled Pochettino.

"I said 'Yes, we sign Llorente'.

"He said, 'Wow, fantastic player'. That is the impact that he has on the changing room.

"When you saw him in training, it was like a 16 or 17-year-old going to training with the first team for the first time.

"That energy is fantastic and a very good example for everyone. He is a very good person and at Swansea last season he scored 15 goals. He can repeat the same with us."
