Barcelona have reportedly made a decision about letting Ferran Torres depart the club for Arsenal this January window

The World Cup is over – the Premier League has re-started, and the January transfer window is now wide open – meaning that Mikel Arteta will be able to add to his squad.

This Arsenal side may be sitting top of the Premier League and playing some very exciting football – but they lack strength in depth and a few injuries could really scupper the progress that Arteta has achieved this season.

That has led to many reports in the media that a possible move for Torres could be made by the Spaniard in the January window -amid speculation that he is a player that Barcelona are open to selling.

The Gunners being keen on bringing in a new forward next month comes as no surprise after Gabriel Jesus’ injury.

He has scored 12 goals and provided seven assists for the La Liga side, and although those stats are not the worst, it is not the kind of number that will keep him playing on a regular basis.

However, in his column on Caughtoffside, Fabrizio Romano insists the Catalans have now decided that they may not be interested in letting the Spaniard leave this transfer window

He said: “Barcelona want to keep Ferran Torres, there are currently no negotiations for him.

“Their aim is to keep the same squad until the end of the season and then change some players again in July.”

But in the summer – the Gunners may be able to get a deal done
