TORRES IN A RETURN TO PREM

FERNANDO TORRES is eyeing a Premier League swansong — putting Newcastle and Southampton on red alert.

The 33-year-old (below) has started just two games for Atletico Madrid this season, one in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey.

And, with striker Diego Costa eligible to play in the new year after returning from Chelsea, the Spaniard knows his chances of game time will diminish.

Torres’ representatives have let his desire to leave Atletico on loan in January be known to Toon manager Rafa Benitez and Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino.
