The Swansea City striker, 32, will be back up for lead striker Harry  Kane as Mauricio Pochettino's side heap more transfer misery on Antonio  Conte after the Blues lost out on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain less than 24 hours ago. Arsenal had accepted a bid of £35m from Chelsea for  Oxlade-Chamberlain but he opted to reject the Stamford Bridge club for  Liverpool.Llorente has had a stronger approach - after Chelsea had much of the  deal agreed without making a formal offer, he is closer to moving to  Spurs instead of the Premier League champions.The deal is yet to be fully completed and Chelsea will remain  hopeful, but Llorente looks to have made his decision having been  offered a more prominent role under Pochettino.Chelsea still have Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi on their  books, with Diego Costa's move to Atletico Madrid still a possibility  due to the Spanish window closing on Friday instead of Thursday.Chelsea and Spurs are both expected to be very active on transfer deadline day, beyond the deal for Llorente.</blockquote>
