The football ace shows off his carefully toned body

He is set to join esteemed list of current Premiership pin-ups - dubbed the Spice Boys in some circles thanks to a legacy left by David Beckham - including Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Alan Smith and Freddie Ljungberg.

In bad news for aspiring Wags, Torres was joined on the getaway by girlfriend Olalla, his childhood sweetheart whom he has known since the age of eight.

The Roman numerals tattooed on his leg are said to mark the day couple's first official date.

Add killer smile to Torres' list of attributes

The player, who is nicknamed "El Nino" left Atletico Madrid after finalising the lucrative Liverpool contract.

He said: "It was a difficult decision, but I think it's a big step forward. The offer was difficult to refuse and it's good for everybody. My heart will always be Atletico."

Torres doesn't have a reputation as a high rolling party boy - yet.

Torres and his girlfriend soak up the sun during a romantic getaway

Spain based football writer Javier Conzuelas recently observed:: "El Nino is famous for being the football geek. He likes his nights in with his childhood sweetheart Olalla.

"But there is a lot of concern about whether he will change once he is away from the watchful eyes of his family. Liverpool may be much smaller than Madrid, but there are still a lot of distractions for a young lad working away from home for the first time."

Torres, welcome to the club - of football hunks, that is.
