Swansea boss Clement: I feared losing Llorente to Chelsea

Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente was on the mark in defeat at Chelsea.

Swansea play Burnley, Hull, Bournemouth and Middlesbrough in the next few weeks and Llorente will be key in their survival fight.

The Spain striker was linked with a move to Chelsea in January and showed why.

"I wasn't always confident we'd keep him, but I'm certainly glad we have," Swans boss Paul Clement said.

"He's a key player for us, and will be a big help for us in the run-in."
