Fernando Llorente is filling in for the injured Harry Kane

The 33-year-old would be able to leave Tottenham for nothing and join a new club at the end of the season.He scored a late winner in Spurs 2-1 win over Watford on Wednesday to keep alive their slim title hopes.Craig Cathcart had given Watford a shock lead before Heung-min Sons equaliser and Llorentes 87th-minute strike gave Mauricio Pochettinos side a much-needed win, meaning Tottenham closed the gap on leaders Liverpool to seven points.Speaking after the game, Llorente said: It’s really difficult because Harry is one of the best in the world.“The most difficult thing is to be fit when you don’t play because the only way to be fit is to play 90 minutes.4

An ankle injury has sidelined Harry Kane until March

“Training is important but the game is the game. Now I feel every game, I feel much better. Today I feel good. Now I’m very focused to help the team and do my best.“It is probably the most important goal I have scored here at Tottenham [against Watford]. It was my dream.“When you dream of days like this and finally it happens, it’s amazing. Now I enjoy the moment because we haven’t got a lot of time to enjoy.”4

Pochettino paid tribute to Llorente

His goal against the Hornets prompted jubilant scenes from his manager.I was so happy. Normally I never celebrate goals but today I felt a bit of freedom to celebrate because we deserved to win, Pochettino said.I am so happy because Fernando worked so hard, working the last four games with Harry Kane out, hes working so hard for the team, to help the team to win three points today is a massive thing.”Despite Llorentes scoring form, Kanes absence has been felt. Tottenham were dumped out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in the space of three days last week.
