Liverpool are reported to be interested a highly-rated youngster who comes with a seal of approval from numerous Arsenal fans.

According to a report from The Mirror, the Reds are considering rivalling Real Madrid and Barcelona for the signature of Valencia forward – and Gunners fan favourite – Ferran Torres.

The 20-year-old is a versatile forward who can play on both flanks as a winger, but can also play across the front line – qualities which appeal to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

A scouting report from Taste of Football says: “At 6ft tall, Torres is tidy in possession, his large frame allowing him to bear down on full backs with a menace. Also, technical quality and his use of both feet makes him unpredictable.”

Torres, rated as one of the brightest prospects in Spain, penned a new contract with Los Che in April 2018 in a deal which runs through until 2021, with a reported €100million (around £90million) release clause (Football Espana).

To date, he has made 88 first-team appearances for Valencia, netting nine goals and registering 11 assists, according to Transfermarkt.

Arsenal were linked with Torres’ Valencia teammate Carlos Soler (The Mirror) towards the end of February, but in wake of that report, numerous Gunners fans called for the Emirates Stadium hierarchy to push for his colleague instead.
