Fernando Llorente admits he signed for Napoli ahead of accepting an offer from Boca Juniors.

The striker joined Napoli as a free agent after being allowed to come off contract at Tottenham over the summer.

After featuring in Napoli's 1-1 draw at Champions League rivals Liverpool last night, Llorente revealed: "In the first half we attacked well, but it is not easy to win on this field. In the end we earned a good draw.

"The breakthrough was finding the net in the first half, in the second half we missed the doubling that could have guaranteed us a bit of tranquility, but the players were more tired when it comes to the end of the game.

"Boca Juniors? They tried in the summer, but I wanted to continue playing in Europe and playing in the Champions."
