Monaco are the reported frontrunners to sign Lucas Torreira this month with the Uruguayan struggling for game-time currently on loan at Atletico Madrid from Arsenal.
The 24-year-old moved to Spain on a season-long loan deal on the same day that Thomas Partey moved the other way to north London, but he has struggled to find a role in Diego Simeone's side and has started just twice in LaLiga this season.
Arsenal are unhappy with this as they believe the player needs minutes and as such, alternative options for the rest of the season are being looked at and Ligue 1 side Monaco are best positioned to strike a deal before Monday's deadline, according to Spanish outlet AS.
