Last year Fernando Torres handed a transfer request  following Liverpool poor performances in Premier League. Liverpool were not playing in Champions League for one season already and the signs were that they would not play also next year.

“El Nino” moved to Chelsea for a sum of around £50 millions and signed a contract for five years with the London club.

Unfortunately for him his performances at Chelsea are not from the best as he managed to score only one goal in 17 games. This lack of goals dropped him also from Spain national team.

Torres was only part of the Spain squad this week when Spain managed to qualify for the Euro 2012 tournament. The 27 years old forward was not even a substitute in the last game against Liechtenstein. His replacement Alvaro Negredo from Sevilla scored twice in 6-0 victory.

Despite this Torres is still considered one of the best strikers in Europe and all football fans are waiting to see him scoring like he was doing  before.
