Atletico Madrid striker Torres rates Oblak ahead of Cech

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres rates Jan Oblak as the best goalkeeper he's played with.

Torres won the Champions League with Arsenal keeper Petr Cech at Chelsea.

But on Oblak, he told AS: "I have not seen a goalkeeper like him, he's spectacular, I would do everything possible to make him stay, he will stay if the club lives up to his ambition."

Asked for a favourite teammate, Torres nominated former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

"Gerrard, he's also the best player I've played with. At Atlético, it's difficult, it's been eleven years," he added.

Torres announced last week he will leave Atletico at the end of this season.
