Fernando Llorente is keen on a January move to Arsenal - to save his World Cup hopes. Llorente is on the Gunners hit-list of possible January deals to boost their squad and push for the Premier League title. Arsenal are watching developments with the Spaniard closely and are determined to sign a striker in January and believe Llorente could be interested. The 28-year-old Spain international is only now beginning to get a chance at the Turin giants following a summer move, and his advisers are concerned his World Cup chances may be affected if he is not a regular in Serie A. Arsenal scouted Llorente before he joined Juve on a free last summer from Spains Athletic Bilbao.They have now been alerted to his potential availability. Any transfer would almost certainly be a loan as Arsenal look for more long-term options, and may not want to make a big signing if they are already cup-tied for the Champions League. Llorente could fill a short-term gap and provide back-up and competition for Olivier Giroud, who is Arsenals only fit and senior centre-forward at the club. (Tyler)
