According to a recent report, Tottenham Hotspur is interested in signing a £30 million attacker who Pep Guardiola once described as “exceptional” during the summer transfer window.

Last season, Ange Postecoglou’s team made progress and made a season-long return to Europe.

  Tottenham Hotspur are interested in acquiring Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, according to the Sunday Express (page 66).

• The Catalan giants want to sign Joao Cancelo from City on a permanent deal, but they need to get rid of Torres before they can make a £20 million offer.
• Because of this, Spurs, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and West Ham United have been placed on alert this summer after learning that Torres is available with a £30 million price tag suggested.

• Ferran Torres statistics

  The “exceptional” Torres scored 11 goals and provided four assists for Barcelona in the previous campaign. Pep Guardiola once referred to him as such.

• He ranks in the top two percent for non-penalty goals per 90 compared to his positional peers throughout Europe, according to some impressive FBref statistics.
• Further, he also ranks in the top 13 per cent for non-penalty anticipated goals plus assisted goals, evincing his threat in the final third. That would be a thrilling addition for Spurs if they were to sign him this summer.
