AC Milan 'are preparing £35m deal to sign Arsenal star Lucas Torreira' after missing out on the midfielder last year and hope to 'drive him away from London' this summer

AC Milan are ready to reignite their interest in Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira after missing out on him last year, and are readying a £35million deal to tempt the Gunners, according to reports from Italy.

The Uruguayan signed for the Gunners in 2018 for £30m with hopes of becoming the tough-tackling player they had been craving to break up attacks and add some steel in the middle of the park.

His career in north London got off to a good start, playing 34 league games last season, but has found game-time hard to come by under Mikel Arteta recently.
