Ferran Torres views his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Désiré Doué as one of the elite dribblers in world football, highlighting the young midfielder’s impact during his debut season at the club.
The Spanish international, who joined PSG from FC Barcelona this summer, shared his assessment of the French talent during a recent appearance on the Konbini “IN&OUT” segment.
The admiration from Torres is rooted in his daily training experiences alongside the former Stade Rennais player. Torres told Konbini that he considers Désiré Doué to be one of the best dribblers in the world. “He has proven it, and frankly, it is a player who has surprised me a lot.”
Torres said that he actively avoids defensive duels with Doué during practice sessions to minimize the risk of being beaten. “When he has the ball, I try not to face him, so he hasn’t dribbled past me yet, but it is very difficult to take the ball from him,” Torres said. Foot Mercato corroborated these remarks, noting that the Spaniard remains impressed by the young midfielder’s technical consistency.
Beyond his assessment of teammates, Torres discussed his personal adjustment to the French capital following his summer transfer. He confirmed that he is actively working to integrate into the local culture by studying the language. “Obviously, I have to learn French now that I have moved here to Paris,” Torres explained. “It is something I am trying to do, and it is on the right track.”

To demonstrate his progress, the forward offered a few basic phrases in French during the interview, including “Lundi, mardi” (Monday, Tuesday). While his language skills remain in the early stages, his professional performance has been a subject of interest; according to Foot Mercato, Torres has recorded seven goals in 14 matches for the club since his arrival.
During the same segment, Torres provided insight into his relationship with post-match media obligations. He expressed a clear preference against the practice, particularly following unfavorable results.
“Out 100%, especially when we have missed opportunities or when we have lost, and they ask you questions about those opportunities or about a teammate who missed his shot,” Torres said. He said that he perceives these interviews as attempts to generate headlines rather than meaningful discussions about the sport.
On a more positive note, the forward reflected on his experience in the league, specifically identifying his goal during the Classico as a highlight of his time with the club so far. As of November 12, 2026, Planetepsg.com reported that Torres continues to settle into his role within the squad as the team prepares for its upcoming fixtures.
