According TBR Football, Arsenal are one of the first division clubs watching Barcelona The forward Ferrán Torres.
The Spain international has been at Barcelona since January 2022, but his future is seemingly uncertain with Raphinha's impressive start to the campaign. The Catalan giants were looking to part ways with the latter during the recent summer. transfer window, but they have changed their stance amid their exceptional form.
This has opened the door to a possible departure for Torres. Arsenal are mentioned as one of the coach's admirers. Mikel Arteta being a big fan. However, the Spaniard remains happy to continue as a player in Barcelona coach Hansi Flick's team. The Gunners will not waste time on him unless they receive some encouragement.

Torres signed for the Blaugrana from city of manchester for £46 million and had a good start to his career before slowing down. The Spaniard has struggled to replicate his international performances at club level. Torres has been exceptional for La Roja with 26 goal contributions in just 48 international matches under multiple coaches.
With Barcelona he has lacked the same consistency with 41 participation in goals in 126 outings. Torres was a regular starter at one point under former manager Xavi, who described him as “world class', but has not been able to find coherence. This has now seen him fall down the pecking order with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal preferred as openers.
Torres can also play up front, but that option has been closed thanks to Robert Lewandowski's rich scoring streak. The Spaniard could contemplate an exit if his situation does not improve, but we believe the Gunners should avoid that approach as his statistics were not too impressive playing for a star-studded Man City.
The Spaniard averaged a goal every 3 league games with the Cityzens. Arsenal need someone with a higher scoring frequency if they want to challenge for the Premier League crown in the future. Bukayo Saka He is an undisputed starter for the Gunners on the right wing and we do not consider Torres to be an improvement on Gabriel Martinelli.
