Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidolin has said that he believes Fernando Llorente can use his move to the Premier League club to get back into the Spain squad.
The 31-year-old completed his £5m switch to the Liberty Stadium earlier this month and impressed on his debut as his new team kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.
"It was a good game for him, a good 90 minutes," Guidolin said of Llorente after the game. "I thought it was not possible for him to play 90 minutes because it's his first week for us but he played very well.
"He's important for us because he's not only strong in the air, he's a very, very good player, a champion. Now I understood why he played [for Spain] and I hope he can play again with Spain."
Llorente was not named in Spain's squads for the 2014 World Cup or Euro 2016.
