Arsenal handed transfer as first-team star rubbishes exit speculation

There are reports in England that Arsenal star Lucas Torreira is ‘happy’ at Arsenal and not pushing to move to AC Milan.

Reports in Italy are widespread that Torreira wants to link back up with new Milan boss Marco Giampaolo, whom he worked with at Sampdoria.

But The Telegraph have debunked the reports, describing talk of the Uruguayan trying to engineer a transfer as ‘wildly exaggerated’.

They also branded his apparent dislike of Enlgish weather ‘nonsense’, while assuring he is learning the language.

That aside, the publication accepts the 23-year-old is a ‘priority’ signing for the Rossoneri, report Football Italia.

Torreira joined Arsenal from Samp last summer in a €30m deal and played 50 times in 2018-19, becoming a fans’ favourite and reaching the Europa League Final.
