Chelsea are weighing up a late bid for Swansea City's Fernando Llorente, who is interested in playing under Antonio Conte again.

Llorente is still a leading target for Conte and Chelsea are set to offer £15million for the striker before Thursday's deadline.

The Spanish international played under Conte at Juventus and he is understood to be aware that Chelsea are considering the prospect of a renewed move.

Chelsea were frustrated in January after Swansea refused to sell the 32-year-old but Paul Clement, the Welsh club's head coach, is braced for another approach.

Swansea are closing in on Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony and would still be reluctant to sell Llorente, but Conte's pursuit and the lure of Champions League football could prove pivotal.
