Arsenal Set to Make Move for “New Torres”
by Alan Smith's Forehead on October 1st, 2009 208 words | 28 commentsArsene keen on young hotshot.
Arsenal have been linked with moves for Atletico Madrid striker Keko.
Keko, 17, has been dubbed the ‘new Fernando Torres’ in Spain and he has already made his La Liga debut.
However, the Spanish youth international is currently on an amateur contract and has yet to sign professional terms with Atletico. (Telegraph)
Whilst being touted as the “Next Torres” does somewhat smack of lazy journalism at least this particular striker IS Spanish and does play for Fernando’s old club Atletico Madrid. Wenger is of course not averse to bringing in young talent that he can then mould and shape to his hearts content and this teenager does appear to be something of a hot prospect. The 17 year old is probably not the same out and out striker as El Nino is but he does have many admirers and given the top notch talents in front of him at the La Liga side, Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero, he may decide a move to the Premier League would be a wise one.
The fact that he wouldn’t cost a penny is something that will obviously attract the north London club and the Spanish side may face a tough battle to keep the interest from Wenger at bay.

Dear Macedonian anonymous…..nobody cares whether you think you are talented or skillful. All that counts is that you know you are and others agree. If you aren’t playing for a professional club in Macedonia or playing with the Macedonian National youth team, then you aren’t good enough. Scouts get zillions of letters,e-mails, offers from agents touting their clients, etc. Find an agent to take you on but be careful as they are a crooked bunch for the most part and will rather take your money and run than run on your behalf. you can find an agent through the Macedonian Football Association but as i warned, be careful! Good luck!

New Torres, what’s wrong with Torres? Everyone is is the new someone until they’re no one and some scout costs his club loads of cash.

So he’s the new Torres because he’s come through the Athletico youth system, is a striker and has a slight look of Torres?
Please! Every young player in the world with a little bit of talent is the new somebody. I remember when John Welsh was the next Gerrard, now he plays for Tranmere!

dear anonymous – October 1st, 2009 at 3:53 pm, that’s why laa i ask..how to go to the national level..

To the macedonian player i play for a club over here in britain and i am 13 and i have been touted by my club as premier league potential. What i did is play for a top club and then they play well and attract scouts and then they might ask u to join but first itas a bit more difficult for you as you live in Macedonia so you would need to fly to britain or something. But good luck to the Macedonian lad, i ho[pe to see u alongside me in the prem one day!!! LOL

no one knows, he might be the next torres, he might not… but torres is a one-in-a-million striker he can score from anywhere. not many get to fernando’s level but look at others that were blamed like messi getting to maradona’s level… messi is a top pro player and he is very young… c. ronaldo is another example… anyways like i said he can be the next torres or he can’t even though he is the top scorer it does not prove anything he can have an early peak and when he plays with the pro’s, he will either succeed or fail and go back to 2nd, 3rd or 4th division.

You cunts will end up playing for scunthorpe, not the premier league :L

a one in a million-striker? that means theres 21 of him here in australia and about a million in china and india
isaac hunt - October 2nd, 2009 at 11:42 am

anonymous - October 2nd, 2009 at 12:07 pm

To the macedonian player.Why don’t you sign up for one of the school’s that alot of Academies hold in the UK.If you really are that good you can be be sure that someone will notice something.But you will have to be quick as I think 17 is the oldest you can be.
As far as Arsenal is concernrd[and I am not a fan of that club]I must admit that I admire them for their ability to sign young unknown talent and turn them into PL players sometimes I wish my club would do more of this.Buy ‘em young and of course cheap or free andif the’re good enough mould them the way you want them-what’s wrong with that.

technincaly he cant become the next torres
nobody can have the same style and play as any certain player and score similar amount of goals i think you might need to rephrase that line
he could like torres
if you wanted to get technical of course
Fabby - October 5th, 2009 at 6:18 am
@rane i totally agreed with you,they can called him next torres but the question is does he have style,energetic and goal sense like torres?@isaac you make me laugh becouse he was given name next torres mean liverpool suppose to play for!if he worth to play for us i asure you people prof wenger will go for him but if not just speculation.
anonymous - October 5th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I doubt he will be anyhwere nears as good as torres. Bendtner was meant to be the new henry, doesnt look very likely atm. Bendtner could be the new ade though, with out the ego…

To the guy from macidonia to get at proffesional level join a local team & if your coach thinks your goog enough he will aprouch scouts from bigger teams but judging on your age if you where to get good you wouldn’t join a big club till your about 25 I know this stuff I am 15 doing a managerial course with fulham because I can’t play very well but I know quite alot
