Ferran Torres has been backed to succeed at Liverpool if he was to complete a transfer to Anfield. That's the verdict of Valencia legend and former sporting director Fernando, who has had his say on the youngster who has taken the Mestalla by storm.

"He also plays on the inside, takes advantage of spaces and can be part of a team that plays on the counter-attack or a dominant team in terms of possession.
"He can perform well in any team and in any league. In England too, of course, at Liverpool or any other team. Klopp's system fits him and he is mentally very strong to cope with pressure and demands."
He has wasted no time settling into the side and has already set a new record, becoming the youngest ever player in their history to play 50 La Liga matches.
Valencia have a track record for producing technically-gifted, productive attacking players.
Juan Mata and David Silva are amongst those who came through the ranks at the club.

Fernando is not the figure to claim Torres can shine at Liverpool, Spanish football expert Domagoj Kostanjsak has compared Torres to Jadon Sancho at Dortmund.
“I would say he is like Sancho or even like Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid," he told the Blood Red podcast.
"[His next move] depends on the playing time he would get at those clubs.
“Jurgen Klopp loves prolific wingers and Torres is one of those. He’s fast, he’s good on the ball, and I don’t think there is a team out there who wouldn’t want him if they could get him.
“I would say that he is way ahead of his age, though, both mentally and sheer ability-wise. His decision making is on point and he has already played on the biggest stages regularly, so he is ready for a step up, but he needs game time.
“Rotting on the bench is going to do him no good.”
Dortmund are believed to be leading the race for Torres and they see him as a potential replacement for Sancho, who could leave Signal Iduna Park this summer.
