Swansea manger Paul Clement is determined to hang on to Chelsea target Fernando Llorente after he scored two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win at Liverpool.
The Spanish striker put Swansea 2-0 up at Anfield and despite Roberto Firmino's double hauling Liverpool back into the game, Gylfi Sigurdsson's goal 16 minutes from time gave Clement his first Premier League win as Swansea boss.
After the match, Clement stated his intention to keep Llorente at the club, despite reported interest from Premier League leaders Chelsea.
"He played very well today. Am I afraid to lose him? I want to keep him here and the reason I want to keep him here is what he showed today," he said.
"I think his performance was very good. The first time I was involved in this team was Crystal Palace and he showed all the qualities he had in that game.
"If you get the right kind of service into him he is a goalscorer but you have to give him service."
Swansea started the weekend bottom of the Premier League table, but the surprise win at Liverpool lifted them out of the relegation zone ahead of the 3pm kick-offs.
Clement insists he is not setting his players any targets as they fight for their Premier League lives.
"I think the mindset in the group, since I've been in, is anything is possible," he added.
"Our main objective is we are not going to look at the table, talk about how many wins or points we need.
"Let's just focus on delivering some performances. Against Arsenal we delivered a 35-minute performance.
"Today we played a 90-minute performance. We defended well and took our opportunities at set-plays.
"The next objective is to put in a performance against Southampton, nothing else."
