2010 FIFA World Cup-winning forward signs two-year deal at Liberty Stadium

Fernando Llorente has become Francesco Guidolin's latest recruit at Swansea City.
The 31-year-old Spanish forward has signed a two-year contract at Liberty Stadium.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup and 2012 UEFA European Championship winner joins from LaLiga side Sevilla for an undisclosed fee after a one-year spell with the Spanish club.
Llorente helped Sevilla beat Liverpool in last season's UEFA Europa League Final, and won two consecutive Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia and a UEFA Champions League runners-up medal with Juventus.
"I am very happy to join Swansea," Llorente told swanseacity.net.
"I have scored goals in LaLiga and Serie A, and now I want to score a lot of goals for the club in the Premier League."
Guidolin's new arrival bolsters the Italian's attacking options and Llorente is available for the Swans' final pre-season friendly with French side Stade Rennais at Liberty Stadium on 6 August.
Llorente's first Premier League apperarance could come in the opening weekend, at Burnley on 13 August.
