Tottenham ‘to strike ultimate blow’ on Arsenal as £33m Barcelona update emerges
Tottenham could be about to strike the ultimate blow on Arsenal as transfer news regarding Barcelona has emerged ahead of the summer window.
The Europa League is the only thing left to play for at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this term and Danny Murphy has warned that not winning this would be a failure.
Therefore, as the summer transfer window starts to play on people’s minds, it seems as though the Lilywhites are looking at a name that could be a double win for Spurs in North London.
Tottenham set to challenge Arsenal for Ferran Torres transfer
Although Tottenham have been hit by injuries throughout the season so far, there is no doubt that serious upgrades will also be needed in the summer transfer window if Spurs are going to have a better season in 2025/26.
The boss has been left light of options at the top end of the pitch so far, with Dominic Solanke having suffered from injury at times, Timo Werner performing well below the expected levels and Mathys Tel taking some time to adapt to Premier League football.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that there is already a striker on Postecoglou’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Fichajes, Ferran Torres is being eyed by Tottenham, as well as their local rivals Arsenal, who are both being persistent in their push.
Torres has struggled to get regular minutes at Barcelona this season and a move away is said to be on the cards, providing a price tag of £33million can be met by the paying club.
The forward has contributed five goals and two assists in 18 LaLiga appearances this term.
Tottenham could get one over on Arsenal with Torres transfer
Arsenal may not be enjoying the best of campaigns themselves, but the same is very much true for Tottenham.
With both sides needing attacking reinforcements and eyeing up the same player, if Spurs could secure this signing, it would surely send a message to their North London rivals that they remain a force to be reckoned with.
| Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | Goals for | Goals against | Goal difference | Points | |
| Tottenham | 27 | 10 | 3 | 14 | 53 | 39 | 14 | 33 |
| Arsenal | 27 | 15 | 9 | 3 | 51 | 23 | 28 | 54 |
That being said, this could also be a great bit of business for the Lilywhites in their own respect too with Torres still having contributed to his Barcelona side this term despite a lack of consistent game time.
As someone who is able to play across the front three, this would provide Postecoglou with a versatile player who could offer something different to his current side.
Furthermore, the experience of someone who has already won a Premier League title would surely show the desire for success by those higher up at the club, while adding the necessary mentality in the dressing room.
If Spurs can pull off this signing and beat their fierce rivals in doing so, it could well send a warning that a better version of Tottenham are expected to be present next season.
