6. Fernando Llorente (Athletic Bilbao)
Another Spanish forward target and perhaps another player Wenger can get ‘on the cheap’.
Llorente has almost certainly outgrown Athletic Bilbao and probably should have looked to leave San Mames in the summer, especially after team-mate Javi Martinez left for Bayern Munich, and the 6ft 6in forward is now treading water waiting for the season to come to an end.
Boss Marcelo Bielsa has left the consistent forward out of his first team a fair bit this season, seemingly as punishment for not agreeing a new deal, leaving the talented Spanish international free to leave the club out of pocket as he completes a free transfer move in the summer.
Llorente scored 29 goals in all competitions last term and was the leading Spanish scorer in La Liga last term.
