See The Striker Arsenal Are Planning To Sign To Replace Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal will try to land Ferran Torres from Barcelona in the January window as Mikel Arteta looks to bring in a replacement for Gabriel Jesus.
According to fichajes.net, Arteta had tried to sign Torres when he was at Manchester City.
However, the 22-year-old could now be set for a switch back to England just 12 months after leaving for Nou Camp.
The LaLiga giants are prepared to let Torres leave only one year into his five-year contract, with head coach Xavi so far unimpressed with the club’s return on their £46.3 million investment.
Barcelona are convinced they will not be able to recoup most of the original fee that they paid Man City, with Torres claimed to be among a number of potential exits.
Torres is currently on vacation following Spain’s exit from the 2022 World Cup, where he scored twice in four appearances.
The forward would be a sizeable coup for Arsenal after Jesus underwent surgery on a knee injury he sustained while playing for Brazil at the World Cup.
