‘It’ll be a wonderful sensation. I experienced unforgettable moments, won five titles, reached a Champions League Final,’ he told Tuttosport.  

‘All the fans continue to show me great affection via social media. They make me feel as if I was there for 10 years rather than two.’

Llorente also opened up on his departure from Turin and revealed he would like to return to the club in the future. 

‘Juve is a difficult place to leave. I left the Vinovo training ground crying,’ he said.

‘It’s also true what David Trezeguet said: “It’s only when you leave Juventus that you realise what you had.” I miss it like crazy and would love to return. 

‘It’s a special club because, despite being an enormous club, it’s like a family inside.

‘There is a fine image of Juventus here and I raise it even more: I always speak very highly of the Bianconeri and give them a good rep.’ 

Llorente has failed to hit the ground running for Spurs, largely due to the excellence of Harry Kane, since joining last summer. In 25 appearances he has netted just twice.
