LaLiga 2018/18: 5 young players to watch out for

#3 Ferran Torres (Valencia)

Torres became the first player born in the 21st century to play in LaLiga in December

He isn’t a familiar name, but it won’t be long until a lot of people have heard of Ferran Torres. He has already made history in LaLiga, having become the first player born in the 21stcentury to appear in the top division of Spanish football when he made his debut in December. Since that debut, Torres has appeared 16 times for Valencia and has drawn interest from the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool.

Valencia have tied him down to a long-term deal to keep him at the Mestalla, but if he keeps on performing at the highest level, it won’t be long before the big clubs come calling again. He isn’t quite your typical Spanish player. He is a direct winger, who likes to go past players and deliver balls into the box. However, he is the sort of player Spain may be happy to see coming through, especially given the predictable, one-dimensional approach the national side used during the World Cup in Russia.
