Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is now expected to seal a move away from the Emirates Stadium in the next few days, the Telegraph report.

Torino are thought to be leading the way for the Arsenal man, and his move back to Italy is said to be imminent.

Arsenal may well raise over £20 million from the sale of Torreira, the report claims, which would be a big boost to their transfer funds.

The Guardian had said that Torreira would leave Arsenal for £18 million earlier this week, but it seems that the Gunners have at least been able to negotiate a better price.

Arsenal are looking to bring in another two central midfielders, but Mikel Arteta knows he must sell before buying.

And it seems that Torreira could be the first real notable player to leave Arsenal this summer.

Torreira remains a popular figure among Arsenal fans, with his tenacity and energy often earning him great praise.

However, Arteta seems totally unconvinced by the Uruguayan and it may be best for all parties if he does move on now.
