Arsenal looking to continue their spending spree this summer as they’re now ready to launch a bid for Barcelona winger Ferran Torres.
According to 90mins, Gunners are currently looking at the possibility to sign the Spanish winger this summer. Torres was once linked with a move to the North-London club back in 2021, with Arteta working with him Manchester City beforehand.
After impressive performance last season, Arsenal are looking to continue their good form. They’ve already spend whooping £200 million as they brought the likes of Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice.
Despite some major incomings, the club is now looking to raise funds through player sales this summer before they can register more signings. Alongside Ferran Torres, Arsenal have Micheal Olise and Mohammed Kudus on their shortlist.
As per football.london reports, they claim :-
“A move for Torres makes perfect sense. A player who has been of interest to Arteta for a number of years, the Spain international would provide brilliant competition for all three attacking positions in Arteta’s squad.
“Described as “brilliant” by Pep Guardiola in 2021, Torres was tipped by his former boss to play as a No.9 as well as out wide. As often portrayed when discussing transfer rumours involving Arsenal, he ticks the bill extremely well in the sense of playing in a range of positions.
“The major stumbling block will come in negotiations. Barcelona will not allow the forward to leave for cheap after he helped them win the La Liga last season. With over £200million spent already, the purse strings may be too tight to make a move this time.”
