The agent of the Spanish forward is reportedly in London for talks with the Boleyn Ground club, in addition to fellow Premier League sides Tottenham and Arsenal.
Llorente could be deemed surplus to requirements in Turin, following the arrival of brand new attackers Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala and Simone Zaza.
He joined Juventus in 2013 from La Liga side Athletic Bilbao, and scored 16 goals in 29 Serie A starts during the course of his debut campaign in Italy.
Last season, he helped the Old Lady reach the final of the Champions League. This is the type of quality that Slaven Bilic is looking for up front this summer.
If he was to sign, he would be the Irons’ tenth signing of the summer, following the arrival of Arsenal defender George Dobson earlier in the week.
