Lucas Torreira Sale 'Vetoed' by Unai Emery as Arsenal Consider New Contract Offer

Unai Emery has 'vetoed' the sale of Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira this summer, as he considers the Uruguayan to be vital to the team's future success, and Arsenal could offer the Uruguayan a new contract to fend off reported interest.

Torreira spoke to press a number of weeks ago and hinted he was unhappy with life in England, prompting speculation of a return to Italy - though most of it has been fuelled by Italian sources.

This week, however, Torreira spoke to Uruguayan journalists stating that he is happy at Arsenal, despite rumoured interest from the likes of Milan, while on duty for his country at the Copa America.
