NAPOLI HAVE SIGNED veteran Spanish striker Fernando Llorente on a free transfer.
The 34-year-old was a free agent after leaving Tottenham at the end of last season.
He returns to Italy four years after leaving Serie A champions Juventus.
“Benvenuto Fernando,” said Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis when announcing the move on Twitter.
A number of clubs were linked with a move for Llorente over the summer, including Manchester United.
Tottenham were also reportedly considering re-signing the striker but Carlo Ancelotti’s side have won the race to his signature.
No details have been released but reports over the weekend suggested Llorente had agreed a two-year deal worth around €2.5 million per season.

Not a bad move. A different option for them. People complain about him but he has shown that given game time he can still perform. His link up play is fantastic.
