Ferran Torres is a promising winger who is being monitored by Barcelona and Real Madrid

Some are starting to call him ‘the new Asensio’ and it’s not difficult to see why. Ferran Torres is one of the players you can watch regardless of his age and boasts of qualities that get you on your feet and makes you wonder what will happen next.

The Valencia winger is an explosive, dynamic presence from wide areas who loves to dribble and show his skill against opponents. Few players possess the confidence that Ferran has in abundance, and his desire to determine the outcome of games is an outstanding trait to have.

He’s particularly strong in 1v1 situations, on the counter attack, and when there is space ahead of him. His crossing is also impressive, and while as a young player his end product needs some work there is a potential star of the future here who could go all the way.

Despite his 17-years, he’s with Valencia’s B team as opposed to one of their youth teams, such is the quality already at his disposal. The club are doing their best to protect the player but it’s difficult when the potential is so high, and new boss Marcelino is apparently already taken with Ferran’s ability.
