Ahead of Tuesday's second leg UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie with Arsenal, Torres claims he was the subject of interest from the Gunners in the past. Liverpool signed Torres from Atletico Madrid last summer in a club record deal and the striker has established himself as a firm fans' favourite at Anfield with a superb debut campaign. Torres says Arsenal made an offer for his services after he helped Spain win the European Under 19 Championship six years ago only for the player to remain at Atletico. The 24-year-old first came to the attention of Europe's top clubs including Arsenal at those Under 19 championship. "That's when offers started to come in," Torres told the Liverpool Echo. "For example, there was one from Arsenal." Torres will be aiming to show Arsenal what they missed out on as he looks to end their Champions League dreams on Tuesday night. The Spanish international admits it will be a tough battle to progress even though Liverpool earned a 1-1 draw and away goal in the first leg in North London. "We were pleased with the result last week because we got an away goal and we came away with a draw," added Torres. 
Liverpool hero Fernando Torres has revealed he could have been at Arsenal if things had turned out differently.
