Reports have it that Arsenal are now seeking to sign Barcelona ace Ferran Torres – once a Manchester City man, reportedly signed them just for the purpose of bringing in the Premier League crown, though Mikel Arteta, who at that time was assistant manager with the club, reckoned he was a fundamental component of that team.
Well, they already possess something on either of them. Of course, Torres departed the pitch with City, but still Mikel Arteta views how he can do really great in the Premier League. That is the exact reason why the club labels him as a hero needed in the number nine shirt position. And not quite. Ferran Torres shall perform fantastically under Mikel Arteta.
Why do Arsenal want Torres?
He cannot do a great job at Camp Nou since he shifted to the Catalan capital. Other players are even doing better also than him. So he can’t get that much opportunities in the hands of Hansi Flick also.
When Flick took the command of Barcelona, he tried Ferran Torres. Ferran Torres got a red card and thus, is suspended for the following game. Flick has never thought about him since then and made his team sheet without Ferran Torres.
Ferran Torres could also have played from the left wing. However, it is Raphinha’s position now. He remains the best Barça has at the moment. Brazil is proving again and again. In yesterday’s encounter, he gave the reigning Champions League champion Real Madrid a run for their money with his exceptional display of football.
That is why Ferran Torres is warming the bench for Barcelona. Mikel Arteta got his situation under his belt. That is why he is trying to bring him to Emirates, where he might start regularly for the Gunners.
We would have seen his talent with the control from Xavi, who would have been that aspect of a professional team of Barcelona. He had one playing on the field and one which the fans had of him.
Possibility of the transfer
Manchester City finally offload Ferran Torres to FC Barcelona for £55m. TeamTalk has learned Newcastle United and Aston Villa also track Ferran Torres situation. Not much of a surprise, therefore, that Unai Emery tends to promote the young players from his country of origin, Spain. And here is the example, Pau Torres.
It was the time when Barcelona are in need of funds ahead of the January transfer market. They do not possess their primary choice of goalie. That is why he signed Wojciech Szczęsny, free of cost. And all of us know he has two years more at his professional level. Then, a long-term is needed. For that purpose, money is required; and Ferran Torres sale will surely provide them.
Though Inaki Pena performed very well, consistency could not be given to the young keeper.
Ninth position for Arsenal
Right now, yes, they do need a proper number nine like it used to be in olden times. However, in the here and now, their Brazilian forward does not play well; neither does Kai Havertz come into the role.
Apparently, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has a liking for Ferran Torres, and maybe this could be the player Arsenal has been waiting for. He has already tasted the worst in his life career-wise and will come back with all guns blazing when he gets his rhythm at Arsenal. Arteta is very well placed to help him with that.
