Arsenal preparing move for Barcelona attacker

Arsenal are weighing up an approach for Barcelona attacker Ferran Torres, according to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo.

The Gunners are keen on strengthening their left wing department this summer. They have already signed Christos Tzolis but want another solution for the position with Gabriel Martinelli likely to leave.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has been earmarked as a top target, but Estadio Deportivo claim that the Brazilian could end speculation by penning a new contract.

Hence, Arsenal are weighing up alternatives, and reports claim that Torres is one of the top names on their radar, and they are favourites to land his signature for now.

Torres would have the assurance of regular playing time on the left wing at the Gunners. He could be prised away for £39-43m with his Barcelona deal expiring next summer.

Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with his services, but Torres may not be assured a starting role which is a priority, should he part ways with the Blaugrana.
