Liverpool Football Club are tracking Valencia starlet Ferrán Torres (full name Ferrán Torres García).
The 18-year-old right-sided winger, who can also play in a more central attacking position, is currently under observation by Liverpool’s scouting network at the request of Reds’ boss Jürgen Klopp after he broke into the Valencia first team earlier this season.
KopTalk sources claim that Anfield scouts have stepped up their interest in the Spain Under 19 international who is part of the Spain squad that is taking part in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship elite round which gets underway today and runs until March 27th. Liverpool scouts are scheduled to be in attendance at the event to take in 3 fixtures that involve Spain (vs Bulgaria, Belgium and France).

Under contract until 2020, Torres, who has been with Valencia since the age of 6, reportedly had his release clause raised from £7million to £22million towards the end of last year following interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Newcastle United and Tottenham are also believed to be monitoring the highly-rated youngster.
- Torres will be discussed on DKB.TV later today. There may also be additional information available in the Scouting Department of the KopTalk Members’ website. Our memberships and subscriptions explained –>>
