Manchester City remains one of the top contenders for both the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles this season, and despite being without a true No. 9 in its attack, the Citizens could count on a young and rising talent to lead the way.
Ferran Torres has taking hold of the starting striker spot for Pep Guardiola's side, making the most of his early chances of the new domestic season.
The Spanish international is coming off a two-goal outing against Arsenal in a 5-0 romp on Matchday 3 of the new EPL campaign, showing fans, his manager, and his teammates that he can deliver as a starting forward for the squad.
Sergio Aguero's departure paired with the failed transfer chases of both Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Guardiola with slim options to lead his attack this season, but Torres' strong first season at the Etihad Stadium surely has benefited the 21-year-old this summer.
"Now in this position, he [Torres] make moments like the best strikers in behind, like Jamie Vardy," Guardiola said about Torres after the Arsenal win. "He is a good finisher, he is so young. Man City made an incredible job buying him.
"He is a good finisher and had a goal disallowed last week, when the finish was perfect. I'm very pleased with his movements, work ethic, and he has learned many things as we saw today - we are pleased on many, many levels."
Torres has mainly played on the wing with both Valencia and the Spanish National Team, but now has been inserted as the main main in Guardiola's dynamic set up.
