Arsenal finished outside of the Champions League places last season.
Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has admitted that if Arsenal were offered the right price then he would sell Lucas Torreira this summer.
Sky Sports previously reported that Arsenal are refusing to sell their star midfielder with Italian giants AC Milan showing interest in his services.
The 23-year-old, who earns £75k-a-week at the club [Spotrac], only moved to the Emirates Stadium last summer from Serie A side Sampdoria and despite winning the hearts of the Arsenal fans at times, he was unable to stop Unai Emery’s men from finishing outside of the top-four.
Speaking to Sky Sports News (17/06/2019 at 4:55 pm), former Gunners striker Nicholas made it clear that there are certain individuals at Arsenal, who he would part ways with this summer.
“The key for Arsenal is who they can get out of the door,” Nicholas told Sky Sports News. “I mentioned it after the Europa League defeat that if you can get the right offer, move Ozil out, Mkhitaryan can go and I want to keep Aubameyang and Lacazette.
“Torreira is another one who seems to be interested in wanting to move back to Italy. If you get the right money, take it. But, come on, start moving on.”
The recently concluded campaign was Unai Emery’s first season in charge of Arsenal and he guided them to a fifth-place finish and the Europa League final.
But just like the last few years under Arsene Wenger, problems continued to surface for the club, both on the field and off the field of play.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will dive into the transfer market and show ambition and whether their leaky defence will be sorted once and for all.
