Orlando City were eliminated in the last 16 of the MLS play-offs but one of their players is attracting a lot of attention in Europe without having to fight in the MLS. He is Facundo Torres. According to 'Evening Standard', Arsenal are keeping a close eye on him on the recommendation of Toni Lima, who works on their scouting team.
Lima is credited with 'discovering' Neymar and Coutinho in Europe but the truth is that when talking about such talented players, certain specialists are named in order to avoid saying who first realised his potential. Regardless, Facundo Torres could receive an offer from Arsenal.
He has only played one season in the United States but it has been enough to show his good performances. Facundo Torres has scored 13 goals and he has provided ten assists in 40 competitive matches. His number of assists is particularly striking because in previous seasons, he hardly stood out in this aspect.
His contract expires in 2025 and Arsenal will have to make an effort in order to sign him. His market value is 10.8 million euros but Orlando City could ask for more as they are aware of his potential and that Arsenal have good funds.
