160-goal hitman reveals: Chelsea boss Antonio Conte tried to sign me but then this happened

By

Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente has revealed that Chelsea made an attempt to sign during the winter transfer window.

The Spaniard scored 15 goals for his club this season to take his overall career tally to 161 and has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

But he insists he is happy in Wales and is looking forward to doing well next season.

"Conte has known me since we were at Juventus," he is quoted as saying by Football 365.

"Chelsea tried to sign me in winter but Swansea would not let me go. Many things can happen in the summer.

"I have a year of contract and I am very happy. It is logical that offers can come, but we will see. I hope things go well, if I stay or I'm going.

"It was a spectacular year [here at Swansea City]. It was a bit tough at first because things did not start well, but the final was spectacular.

"There were times where the club thought they were going down, but I was able to give almost everything I had and I am very happy."
