    Llorente gives Arsenal and Liverpool hope of a Premier League move

    Arsenal and Liverpool target Fernando Llorente has revealed he could leave Athletic Bilbao in January - but insists a move to Juventus is not done and dusted.

    Llorente's mooted transfer to Juve failed to materialise in the summer but it has been suggested in Italy that a move to Turin is a foregone conclusion.

    But the 27-year-old, who is out of contract next summer, insists he is keeping his options open.

    Speaking after Sunday's 3-3 draw at Espanyol, in which he scored, Llorente said: "Now I am only thinking about helping the team and I will try to make things go as well as last year.

    "I've been at Athletic for many years and always will be Athletic - although one day I will play for another team.

    "It has been a bumpy and hard summer and I've had to make tough decisions.

    "You never know how things will turn out and I had to go through difficult times.

    "In January I am free to negotiate my future, but I want to be focused to try to help the team.

    "But it is not decided that my future is at Juventus."
