The agent of young Arsenal star Lucas Torreira has revealed that the midfielder had the chance to join Napoli over the summer before opting for the Emirates Stadium.
Torreira, 22, came to prominence as a part of the Uruguay team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The then-Sampdoria player impressed with his battling performances in the middle of the park, leading to a gaggle of suitors once the Celeste's participation ended with defeat to France.
Arsenal eventually snapped up the youngster in a deal worth £26 million (€30m/$34m), and he has gone on to feature in all three of the Gunners' Premier League games so far this season.
