Gabriel Torje looks ready to go

Name: Gabriel Torje
Position: right winger
Born: 1989
Height/Weight: 167 cm/64 kg
Club: Dinamo Bucharest

With Lazio still trying to reach an agreement with Dinamo, Gabriel Torje has every reason to give his best on pitch and convince the Italian club to dig deeper in its pockets. His first performances in Liga I were solid and, in the second round, he was one of the top performers in the highy entertaining 5-3 win against Sportul Studentesc. The little winger’s raids produced the free kick and the penalty kick that offered Dinamo a perfect first half and he made it 3-0 right after the break with an excellent sprint behind the opposition’s defense, a cool move past the rushing keeper and an angled finish. Torje was unstoppable, showing a combination of pace and skill that proved too much for his direct opponent, often left with the choice you cannot make twice in the same game: a desperate foul. Hard working, creative and with a bigger range of movement – got more freedom from Andone and he seems to enjoy it – Torje definitely looks on top of his game, with a growing level of confidence and the once lost appetite to impress.
