Arsenal have shown interest in acquiring Barcelona forward Ferran Torres. It is reported that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a huge admirer of Torres, while Barcelona are contemplating offers for him to boost their transfer budget. Torres has found it challenging to secure a regular starting spot at Barcelona, having scored one goal and provided two assists in 10 appearances this season. However, Arsenal are not the only club interested, as they face competition from Aston Villa and Newcastle United, who are also keen on signing Torres.
