Tottenham hold talks over signing world-class Barcelona forward instead of Junior Kroupi -…

Ferran Torres will continue to dominate the headlines this summer after his recent World Cup exploits for Spain, and he is a target for Tottenham Hotspur.

The 26-year-old proved to be the hero for La Roja as he scored the only goal of the game as Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final in the United States.

Torres was introduced as a second-half substitute and struck the crucial goal in extra time with a finish high into the net as his country backed up their Euro 2024 triumph by lifting the World Cup for a second time.

Following the high of scoring the winner in a World Cup final, Torres will return to club football with Barcelona next month but a move away from the Nou Camp could potentially take place.

Torres is set to be available for a transfer this summer if he fails to agree a new contract at the Camp Nou.

A move to Paris Saint-Germain looks a real possibility, with the Champions League holders reportedly advancing towards an agreement with the former Manchester City man.

However, sources have indicated to TEAMtalk that Tottenham are keeping a close eye on developments and have already held discussions with intermediaries regarding his situation.

The north London club, who have been dealt a transfer blow following Eli Junior Kroupi's foot injury that will sideline him for three to four months, still have work to do in the transfer market despite the arrival of six new players this summer and it is vitally important that they improve on their options going forward.

Torres would offer Roberto De Zerbi versatility across his frontline as he is capable of playing as a centre-forward and on either wing.

The ex-Valencia attacker also has Premier League experience to his name after spending 18 months with Manchester City prior to joining Barcelona midway through the 2021/22 campaign.

During his time at the Etihad Stadium, Torres contributed 16 goals and four assists in 43 appearances.

Torres' future is a hot topic right now as his contract with the Spanish giants expires in 2027.

The player was asked about his future ahead of Spain's first World Cup game against Cape Verde but he refused to discuss it.

"I don't know and I don't care right now," he responded, as reported by ESPN. "Tomorrow is the important thing, getting the three points, having a good debut... [Where do I see myself?] Playing against Cape Verde tomorrow."

The player's future should become clear in the weeks ahead with his contract now starting to run down.
