Liverpool enquire about the availability of Ferran Torres this summer

Liverpool have enquired about the availability of Ferran Torres this summer, according to Goal.

The 20-year-old is one of the most exciting young attacking players in Europe, shining for Valencia this season.

Liverpool have been tipped to make a move for him in recent times, having registered four goals and assists apiece in 2019/20.

The Reds are not alone in showing an interest in Torres, however, with Manchester United, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City all mentioned in the report, too.

The level of interest in the winger, to us, sums up his potential, so the prospect of Liverpool signing him is a mouthwatering one.

At his best out on the left or right-hand side, Torres could compete with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. He is not at their level yet, of course – the Liverpool superstars score and assist more regularly, and have a higher key pass average per game in the league this season (1.8 and 1.6, compared to 0.8) – but playing time should still come his way, allowing Jurgen Klopp to rotate more freely.

With Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi both linked with summer exits from Anfield, the Valencia star could be an ideal replacement, bringing natural width to Liverpool’s squad.

To beat direct rivals to Torres’ signature could also be seen as a major coup, as they look to remain the team to beat in England.
