Xavi wants Ferran Torres to play as a No 9

| sport

The coach would like him to take the position that Ferran Jutgla has been in

Ferran Torres shone as a winger at Valencia but has also impressed as false nine at Man City under Pep Guardiola. That’s where Xavi Hernandez is considering using the young forward. He wants to play with the forward in the middle where Ferran Jutgla featured against Elche and Sevilla.

Torres can also play in the wing if needed, where Dembele, Abde and Ansu Fati have appeared.

Xavi will get Memphis Depay back and a little after that, Martin Braithwaite.
