There have been new developments in the race for Ferran Torres’ future after Tottenham expressed an interest in the Barcelona forward.
Spurs were 24 hours away from making a big offer for Eli Junior Kroupi when they were hit with the news that the Bournemouth star had picked up a foot injury, which will rule him out for three to four months.
