Athletic Bilbao frontman Fernando Llorente concedes that he likes the style of football in the Premier League.

Fernando Llorente has reportedly put the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur on alert by admitting that he is a fan of the Premier League.

The Spanish international will become a free agent in the summer after he made it known that he will not be signing a new contract with his current employers Athletic Bilbao.

Despite reported interest from clubs in Spain and Italy, the 27-year-old has hinted that he would consider a switch to England.

"We're approaching the date when I can sign for other clubs," Llorente told Revista De La Liga. "I really like the Premier League and I've said on more than one occasion it's a league that appeals to me.

"You never know. It's one good option in terms of my future but we'll have to wait until the end of the season to see what happens. I'm trying to keep it in the hands of my brother and my representatives so I can focus on football."

Recent speculation has claimed that Italian champions Juventus are the frontrunners to sign the striker.
