# Fernando Llorente ready to join Galatasaray

**Tottenham Hotspur could see one of their fringe players leave in the January transfer window.**

Fernando Llorente’s future has largely been speculated recently as the Spaniard’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

And, according to a claim in Turkey, the veteran striker could be about to make a switch to the country.

[The Star are claiming that Galatasaray are thought to have reached an agreement with the 33-year-old and just need to finalise things with Spurs.](https://www.star.com.tr/spor/son-care-liorente-haber-1421273/)

However, it could be difficult to get Tottenham to agree to a deal as the report suggests the Turkish giants are only prepared to pay a fee of 1million to land him in January.

## The Verdict:

Llorente has played no more than a bit-part role at Tottenham since arriving from Swansea City and his future in north London appears to be coming to an end.

The 33-year-old could look to get regular playing time at Galatasaray as they continue to look for a forward to lead their line.

However, with such a small fee being quoted, it remains to be seen on whether a deal can be struck between the two clubs.

**Tottenham fans – thoughts?**
