Paul Merson We All Know Pep Guardiola Wants This Boy

BREAKING NEWS: Paul Merson Praises Coventry Star Victor Torp — “We All Know Pep Guardiola Wants This Boy”

Football pundit Paul Merson has sparked huge discussion after boldly claiming that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is a big admirer of Victor Torp, calling him “the best player in Coventry right now.”

Speaking during a live segment, Merson didn’t hold back in his praise for the in-form midfielder:

“We all know Pep Guardiola wants this boy. He’s been absolutely incredible this season — goals, assists, work rate — he’s got everything.”

Torp has been a standout performer under Frank Lampard this season, driving Coventry’s midfield with confidence and creativity. His impressive form has reportedly attracted interest from top Premier League clubs.

Merson also warned Lampard that keeping hold of the Danish star will be a challenge if his performances continue to catch the eye.

“Lampard can’t afford to lose him. He’s too important to this Coventry side,” Merson added.

Fans on social media have joined the praise, with one supporter writing on X (formerly Twitter):

“I’ve seen enough — he’s better than Hamer.”

Torp’s blend of vision, control, and attacking instinct has made him a key figure in Coventry’s strong start to the season, and comparisons with former Sky Blues star Gustavo Hamer continue to grow.

As speculation around his future intensifies, one thing is clear — Victor Torp is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about talents in the Championship, and if Paul Merson is right, even Pep Guardiola might soon come calling.
