Fernando José Torres Sanz (born 20 March 1984), nicknamed
El Niño (The Kid in Spanish), is a Spanish footballer who plays for
Chelsea and the
Spain national team as a
striker.
Torres started his career with
Atlético Madrid, progressing through their youth system to the first team squad. He made his first team debut in 2001 and finished his time at the club having scored 75 goals in 174
La Liga appearances. Prior to his La Liga debut, Torres played two seasons in the Segunda División for
Atlético Madrid, making 40 appearances and scoring seven goals. He joined
Premier League club Liverpool in 2007 after signing for a club record transfer fee. He marked his first season at
Anfield by being
Liverpool's first player since
Robbie Fowler in the 1995–96 season to score more than 20 league goals in a season. Torres became the fastest player in
Liverpool history to score 50 league goals after scoring against
Aston Villa in December 2009. He left the club in January 2011 to join
Chelsea for a record
British transfer fee of £50 million, which also made him the most expensive
Spanish player in history.
Torres is a Spanish international and made his debut for the country against Portugal in 2003. He has since participated in four major tournaments,
UEFA Euro 2004, the
2006 FIFA World Cup,
UEFA Euro 2008 and the
2010 FIFA World Cup. Torres did not score at
Euro 2004, but netted three at the
2006 World Cup. He scored twice at
UEFA Euro 2008, including the winning goal for Spain in their 1–0 win over
Germany in the Final. He won the
2010 World Cup with
Spain, but did not score any goals during the tournament.
