Despite having only joined Spurs in the summer, the Spanish forward is already becoming an outcast at Tottenham. Overshadowed by Harry Kane, Llorente has only managed nine appearances this term.

Now, nine appearances doesn't sound bad initially, until you realise he's come off the bench every time; he's yet to start a Premier League game so far this campaign. In those nine substituted appearances, he has failed to register a single goal or assist; probably due to a lack of confidence.

If Llorente remains at Spurs for the rest of the season, he will reach nowhere near the 15 goals he bagged last campaign with Swansea, giving him a slim chance for World Cup selection. With the likes of, Alvaro Morata and Diego Costa to compete with, Llorente is in desperate need of game time.

At 32-years-old, it is clear that Russia 2018 would be his last World Cup campaign; if he can make it of course. But his chances are ever decreasing whilst he's sat on the bench at Wembley. Even if it is a loan deal for the rest of the season, a move in January should be in his best interests.
