Summary
Spanish correspondents are impressed by Ferran Torres's impact at PSG since his summer move. The 26-year-old scored twice off the bench on his debut against Rennes on 23 August and has added five more goals, prompting AS's Andrés Onrubia to say he did not expect such an immediate level of performance under Luis Enrique.
At Barcelona, where he made over 200 appearances in five years, Torres operated in rotation and started only four of eleven Champions League matches last season. Catalan journalist Roger Saperas notes that his breakthrough at PSG surprises many Barcelona supporters, though he credits the club's strong start to the season and Raphinha's form. Torres's World Cup final goal on 19 July has elevated his status with Spain, with Saperas suggesting he could challenge for a starting role in the Nations League.
