Spanish striker Fernando Torres admits he could well be enticed to Arsenal by the promise of Champions League football.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is understood to want to bring the 21-year-old Atletico Madrid forward to Highbury as a foil to Thierry Henry and Jose Antonio Reyes.

And Torres revealed the lure of top-level European football could tempt him away from Spain.

He told The Sun: “If a club like Arsenal and a coach like Arsene Wenger want to speak to you it is really flattering.

“Arsenal are in the Champions League every season and I want to play against the best teams and challenge for the biggest titles.

“At Atletico, things are going little by little.”
