Since breaking into Valencia’s main team in the 2017/2018 season, Torres has indeed shown significant progress. The Spanish national team U-19 player had nine goals from 97 appearances with Los Che in the last three seasons. This season, Torres is able to pack eight assists and six goals from 44 appearances in all competitions.

“He’s the type of player who is fast and direct. With just one move, he could create a gap in the opponent’s back line. In addition, he can also create moments that can lead to victory. I feel City is the ideal place for him to develop and with Pep’s presence, he can take his game to a higher level, ” Begiristain said on the club’s official website.
