In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres next summer. It has been stated that Spurs are hoping to acquire the services of the Spain international at the end of this campaign.
Torres’ Valuable Role At The Nou Camp This Season
The 23-year-old has been an important member of Xavi’s match-day squad this season and has managed to put in a run of impressive displays for the Catalan club in the final third. Torres has banged in six goals and picked up three assists in 23 matches for Barca during this campaign across multiple competitions.
The Spanish wide player has given a good account of himself by averaging 1.4 shots and 1.1 key passes per game in La Liga football. He has even been tidy when distributing possession in the opponent’s half based on his pass completion rate of 78.3% in the Spanish top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current deal at the Nou Camp will expire in the summer of 2027. Hence, it won’t be easy for Spurs to sign Torres on the cheap at the end of this season.
Is Torres A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Angelos Postecoglu?
Torres can engineer a yard of space for himself to get a few strikes in on-target. He has got the eye to play a few decisive passes on the offensive third of the field and can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top.
The Spanish talent is primarily a right-sided wide player but can also function as a left-winger or as a centre-forward if asked to do so by his manager. We can expect him to bring more goals and creativity to Tottenham boss Angelos Postecoglu’s attack. He already knows the Premier League well and won’t take much time to settle into life in North London.
At 23, Torres has got a bright future ahead of him and could play a prominent role in Postecoglu’s first XI in the coming seasons. Plus, he might help Spurs challenge across all fronts over the next few years. Hence, Torres would be a decent choice for the North London club to consider in the next summer transfer window.
