Lucas Torreira’s agent has revealed the teams that Arsenal fought off in order to obtain the services of the talented Uruguayan midfielder.
One of the shining lights of Uruguay’s World Cup campaign, the deal for the 22-year-old was sealed after the South American outfit were knocked out by France in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Torreira put pen to paper on a five-year deal that will see him strut his stuff in the Arsenal red and white until 2023 after the youngster made a big impression in Serie A with Sampdoria, with some impressive performances that he will be hoping to replicate in the Premier League this coming campaign.
