Legendary French striker Jean-Pierre Papin has tipped Liverpool striker Fernando Torres to push Barcelona duo Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi as the race for the Ballon d’Or heats up.
The Spaniard has been in tremendous form at both domestic and international level since leaving Atletico Madrid, sealing himself a reputation as one of the world’s most deadly strikers.
Speaking to homeland channel L’Equipe TV, Papin threw Torres’ name into the hat of possible candidates:
"Do not forget Torres, he is able to score extraordinary goals and is often decisive.
"Liverpool do not have the same performance when he's not there."
