Arsenal outcast Lucas Torreira 'is wanted by his boyhood club Boca Juniors' - with Uruguay midfielder failing to make an impression at Atletico Madrid with just three LaLiga starts on loan this season

Boca Juniors could offer Lucas Torreira a dream move to the club the Arsenal midfielder supported as a boy, according to reports.

The Uruguay international has struggled to make an impact at Atletico Madrid this season after joining Diego Simeone's men on loan in the summer, playing just 629 minutes all season across all competitions.

The 25-year-old has started just three of the 15 LaLiga matches he has featured in this season, and a permanent deal with the Spanish capital side therefore looks unlikely.

However, according to ESPN, a move to Boca Juniors is a viable alternative as they claim the Argentine club are targeting a move for him in their pursuit of a new defensive midfielder.
