Both players have been the subject of reports this week that Chelsea wanted Llorente and Everton likewise on Sigurdsson as they look to bolster their own squads.<\/p>\n
The chances of Sigurdsson seem to have reduced today with Everton splashing out on Morgan Schneiderlin but the discussions around Chelsea wanting Llorente just don’t seem to want to go away whether it is a purchase, loan or swap deal.<\/p>\n
But Clement was keen to point out to the press today that he did not want to see either player leave the club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fernando is a very good player, he experienced at the highest level and important to this team. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just links, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been no contact,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the head coach.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I want to keep Gylfi here, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s similar to Llorente, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in a situation where we want to win games and to give you a chance of doing that you need your best players.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You need to keep your best players and they are two of the best players the team has got.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d possibly expect interest, but they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re contracted, they are motivated, focused on what we need to do to move this team forward.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say anything will or won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a lot of speculation and gossip, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been no conversation between me, the players, the club, the other clubs, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just down to work and the game against Arsenal this weekend.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
