Llorente arrival edges Ayew closer to West Ham

Sevilla striker Fernando Llorente has arrived at the Liberty Stadium to complete a move to Swansea as Andre Ayew edges closer to completing a £20m move to West Ham.

West Ham had been edging closer to signing the Ghanaian striker in a club-record £20m deal this summer, but there was a catch.

Swansea were unwilling to let the forward go at all this summer, and were certainly not prepared to do business without signing his replacement who now appears to be close to joining.

The man in question is Sevilla striker Fernando Llorente who the Swans believe will join them,

Here he is photographed this afternoon arriving at the Liberty Stadium to take a medical and complete his move to the South Wales club.

Slaven Bilic has revealed he is hopeful of signing up to five new players before the end of the transfer window, and Andre Ayew is one of his priorities in the near future.
