The biggest transfers in the football circus have ripple effects. When Barcelona go out of the weekend without star Ferran Torres, the week before the start of the season, they have to work in high gear. The first phone call made from the Catalan capital was to the Arsenal part of London.
He finished his debut season at Arsenal with 21 goals (14 in the Premier League) in 55 games. A solid start, but when you have the label “one of Europe’s most goal-scoring strikers” at around £55 million, expectations are higher. Now we are on the verge of a new season, in the Community Shield final against Manchester City, the Swede got fifteen minutes on the pitch. Now there are reports of activity to bring the 28-year-old away from Arsenal.
Barcelona have this summer thanked Robert Lewandowski for his support, this weekend Ferran Torres disappeared to PSG. This leaves big holes at the top in the Barca attack of Hansi Flick.
According to El Chiringuito TV , Barca are considering bringing in Viktor Gyökeres, with the Swede being seen as a direct replacement for Ferran Torres.
According to the Spanish media, Barca are now checking the situation at Arsenal, if they are willing to open up for a deal just one week before the Premier League season starts.
In that case, very surprisingly, twelve months after the Swede joined Arsenal.
