Ferrán Torres, new signing of FC Barcelona, is a winger who after making himself known at Valencia became great at Manchester City, where Pep Guardiola exploited his scoring ability starting as ‘nine’ to the point that the Valencian doubled his performance in front of goal, an improvement that was also demonstrated in the Spanish team by Luis Enrique.
“We have discovered that in the center forward position he has movements at the level of the best. Very similar to those of Jamie Vardy and these types of footballers. It moves incredibly well. He is a good finisher and he is very young ”, Guardiola explained in September about Ferrán Torres, 21 years old.
His numbers at Valencia were 9 goals and 12 assists in 97 games. On the other hand, he only needed 43 games in Manchester City (which he arrived in the summer of 2020 after paying the English team 25 million euros plus 12 in variables) to reach 16 goals, although his assists were only 4.
