Athletic Bilbao star Fernando Llorente has confirmed that Tottenham expressed an interest in his services.
The Spain international was reported to be on Spurs' wishlist during the summer transfer window as the Premier League side was looking to add to its attacking resources.
And Llorente, who broke into Athletic's first team in 2005, has confirmed Tottenham's approach but revealed he had no interest in a move to England.
"I know there was interest from Tottenham, but never at any moment did I want to leave Athletic," he said, according to AS.
The 26-year-old, who netted 19 goals in all competitions last season, said he is optimistic regarding his contract extension.
