According to a report from Marca, Man City boss Pep Guardiola has been left ‘astonished’ by summer signing Ferran Torres after his start to life at the Etihad Stadium – with a behind the scenes claim emerging about the player’s ‘military-like’ regime.
Torres, who was snapped up from Valencia in a meagre £20.87 million deal, has gone on to thoroughly impress both Guardiola and City supporters after an array of brilliant performances.

His market value has even doubled to £40.5 million, testament to his brilliant performances, as exemplified by his Man of the Match display during City’s 3-0 win over Olympiacos in midweek.
Now, as per Marca, Torres has even put extra hours into his personal training programme whilst being set on bulking up for life in the Premier League.
This report also claims that the Spaniard has really turned heads at the Etihad Campus, prompting Sky Blues to swoon over the ‘absolute steal‘ who could become the club’s ‘new Ronaldo‘.

He’s deceptively athletic. He’s taller and stronger than most people think.
