London, July 10 (IBNS): Former   Liverpool, Chelsea and Spain striker Fernando Torres is all set to join Japanese football club Sagan Tosu.

He did not renew his Atletico  Madrid contract after it ended this summer.

Torres was part of the Chelsea's Champions League-winning team in 2012.

The Japanese club also shared an image on its Twitter platform where the footballer could be seen holding the club flag.

"I have had offers from France, Germany and even one from Spain but at no point did I ever think about going to another European team," Torres was quoted as saying by BBC.

Torres said he was looking forward to facing a new challenge and in a new nation.
