Llorente is heading to England (Spanish article)

Apparently it will be either Tottenham, City or Arsenal.

That article (if Google Translate is any good at all) doesn't seem to correctly relate our position. We can certainly afford him. Don't see exactly why Man City need him. Spurs seem logical, but as that article points out, they aren't the most exciting option for him.

I'd be fine with the signing, but I don't really see him fitting our style, but who knows. Would think Jovetic would be a better fit for us, especially since we already have a bigger striker in Giroud (though Llorente is definitely more of an aerial threat and a bigger presence). Wouldn't make much sense to carry two big strikers who need game time in a one striker formation. Buying a more versatile player seems more likely for Arsenal.
