​Tottenham signing Llorente dreaming of trophies with Spurs

Tottenham's deadline day signing Fernando Llorente is dreaming of winning trophies with the North London side.

Chelsea were favourites to sign the Spaniard until Wednesday, but they were gazumped by their London rivals in the last hours of the window.

The 32-year-old has signed a two-year contract after joining Spurs from Swansea in a deal believed to be around £12m.

"I'm very happy to join Tottenham, an amazing Club and I can only say I come here to help Tottenham try to win titles," said Fernando.

"I think they are working really well in the last few years, I like Mauricio Pochettino, his mentality, his thoughts about Tottenham and I think the project and the philosophy of this Club is amazing.

"I'm very excited to come here. I think Harry Kane is an amazing striker and I'm very happy to play with him and the other players. I want to get to know them and start to train with my new team-mates.

"I'm 32-years-old but I want to learn every day and I think I can learn a lot of things from Harry and the other players. I can learn a lot from Mauricio Pochettino and I will do my best here.

"I think I can do more things in my career and my dream is to do that here at Tottenham."
