Pau Torres has detailed conversations he has had with Manchester City star Rodri that may persuade him to move to the Premier League.
Torres has been linked with both Arsenal and Manchester United following a fine 2020/21 season for Villarreal in La Liga.
The Spanish centre-back has played a big part in Unai Emery's side's road to the Europa League final - which involved beating the Gunners in the semi-finals earlier this month.
The north London club have been linked with a move for a new centre-back for a few months, with the Gunners reportedly looking for a mass squad overhaul in the summer transfer window.
football.london understands that Arsenal are looking to sign a new player for at least five positions following a very disappointing season - which sees no European football at the Emirates Stadium next term.
Torres, though, has potentially hinted that he does favour a move to the Premier League in the coming months.
"This year because of the pandemic there have been no fans but the atmosphere that exists in each stadium is magical but unfortunately, here in Spain, lacking in all but a few stadiums," Torres told Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, who hosts the Pure Football podcast.
"The rhythm the game is played at; matches are dynamic with many transitions and I think you can face up to the fastest forwards in football.
"For the fan it is a very attractive type of football. When I meet Rodri, who I played with at Villarreal, he tells me that he is delighted to be able to play in the league has gone to.
"He also tells me a lot about the respect people have for the footballer.
"For example, he goes down the street with his girlfriend or his family and can go quietly to dinner.
"Nobody bothers him. It’s not that in Spain that they bother because in the end I have also asked my idols for a photo but what happens in England is something to be admired."
