Unai Emery Looking To Raid His Former Club For 19-Year-Old Winger

Arsenal are reportedly locked in on a race with Leicester City for Valencia youngster, Ferran Torres.

Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid have already registered their interest for the winger but Unai Emery is planning to steal him with a quick bid.

Torres has gained attention this summer not because of a standout La Liga season but for the potential he has shown on the pitch. The Spaniard has appeared 37 times for Valencia this term and has delivered 3 goals and 2 assists.

He is still in the midst of a development stage and is available for £25m if the buyer agrees to include a future sell-on clause. Now, Arsenal are in need of wingers but at this point of time, they might not be able to risk that much on a diffident prospect.

But it also would be unfair to doubt Unai Emery’s scouting process since he did find a gem in Matteo Guendouzi last summer. The French midfielder has burst onto the scene after only coming from a Ligue 2 side, Lorient.

Torres is a product of Valencia’s youth setup, having progressed from the club’s B side. He has also represented Spain in the U17 and U19 categories all over 32 times.
