Marca: Ferran Torres will wear Spain s No. 7 jersey after Morata agrees

The Spanish media "Marca" reported that Ferran Torres will wear Spain's No. 7 jersey with Morata's consent.

Phelan obtained the consent of his friend and teammate Morata and took over the number. Ferran has quickly become one of the Spanish national team's all-time top scorers. Among active players, only Morata has scored more goals than him. With his current goal efficiency, considering his age and performance, if he can maintain his current goal momentum, he is the only player who is likely to challenge the Spanish national team's historical scorer list occupied by Villa, Raul and Torres.

Phelan is not afraid of pressure and hopes to add glory to No. 7 with goals. Phelan has always looked to Villa as a role model, having been a child when the latter was flourishing at Valencia and with the Spanish national team. After getting Morata's consent, Ferran chose this number without hesitation. This Friday and Saturday, the national team will allocate jersey numbers, and Ferran will choose No. 7.

Phelan is the second captain behind Unai Simon. Although he did not take Morata's number in the last call-up, it has been agreed this time. Morata was not called up for either match and his inclusion in future squads will depend on his performance at Como.

De la Fuente has always had confidence in Phelan. He has been a regular in the team and always scores goals. The competition is very fierce. Although Oyarzabal is in hot form and other offensive players may compete for the No. 9 position at any time, Ferran remains firmly in the main position and is eager to help Spain qualify for the World Cup.

What’s interesting is that through unremitting efforts, Phelan has transformed into a top forward and even adjusted his physical condition to adapt to the new role. From a wide player, he has developed in recent years into an efficient goalscorer who is at home in the penalty area and in the open space. Now, Ferran has proven himself in the Spanish national team and Barcelona, ​​competing with top strikers like Lewandowski.

This season, Ferran has made a strong comeback after recovering from emergency surgery. He had previously missed Barcelona's league celebrations and Spain's UEFA Nations League final due to injury. He has scored seven goals in La Liga and the Champions League and added another in Spain's stunning win over Turkey.
