Report: Tottenham plotting a move for former Man City forward

According to the print edition of The Sunday Express (page 66 via TBR Football), Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Barcelona forward Ferran Torres.

Tottenham are interested in Ferran Torres

Torres has not quite lived up to expectations since swapping Manchester City for Barca two and a half years ago but he has still chipped in with a decent number of goals.

The versatile forward, who can operate across the front three, scored 11 goals and provided four assists last season in 42 matches across all competitions (Transfermarkt).

The Sunday Express say that Barca are now ready to cash in on the striker this summer as they need to raise funds before they can make a move to sign Joao Cancelo permanently.

Tottenham are said to have been alerted by the Spain international’s availability but they are not alone, with Newcastle, Aston Villa and West Ham United also thought to be ready to offer Torres a route back to the Premier League.

The Catalan giants have allegedly informed the interested parties that the 24-year-old is available for a fee of £30m.

Torres played 43 times and scored 16 goals for Man City during his last spell in England, including nine goals in the Premier League (TransferMarkt).

Torres is a good stylistic fit for Ange’s system and his versatility will give the Australian a lot of options.

However, the Spaniard is still lacking a little in terms of end product and is not the sort of signing that would elevate the Spurs side to the next level.
