Ferran Torres to Barcelona was a shocking transfer to me, I didn't see it coming and until now I still wonder why Manchester city opted to sell Ferran Torres to Barcelona knowing how good he was playing for Manchester City. Too bad he is struggling for games at Barcelona, I bet he will be wishing he had stayed back and remained at Manchester city where he was getting enough game time. Good news for him, Arteta seems to be interested in Ferran Torres as a prospective replacement for Gabriel Jesus.
Ferran Torres is a precocious player, but the truth is that he was not getting enough playing time in Manchester City, back then Pep even opted to play without a striker, sending Ferran Torres way down the pecking order at City, he saw an opportunity to move to a club like Barcelona and he took it, City saw the money Barcelona were offering and they had to take it, both parties were happy. Mind you that when Ferran arrived at Barcelona, the club didn't have many of the players they have now, and he was playing regularly then, but last summer Barcelona bought quite a lot of players, including striker Lewandowski, and Ferran now has to manage a place on the bench as he mostly comes on as a substitute.
Having said that, if Arsenal are interested in him, then he could grab the opportunity and come back to the EPL, quite a lot of attackers have been linked with Arsenal this January, including Athletico Madrid's Joao Felix, i'd prefer the Portuguese sign for Arsenal rather than Ferran Torres, he is a better player imo, but the window will open soon and we'd see the new faces that would arrive at the Emirates.
