Arsenal’s midfield destroyer Lucas Torreira has revealed his dream move but should Gunners fans be worried?
Arsenal star Torreira has been one of the signings of the season in the Premier League since making the switch from Sampdoria last summer. The Uruguayan was an instant hit at the Emirates and he has made a real difference for the Gunners this campaign.
Torreira has played 49 times for Arsenal this season and is expected to complete his half-century against Chelsea in the Europa League final at the end of the month.
The 22-year-old’s reading of the game and his ability to win the ball back will be of massive importance for Arsenal in their bid for a European trophy against their London rivals. But should the Gunners be worried about his future beyond the end of the season?
Speaking to TNT Sports, Torreira talked about who he supported as a kid and claimed that it was his dream to move to the club.
He said: “At some point, I would like to wear the shirt of Boca because it is a dream that I have pending from very young, is something that my family and the people around me. It’s a dream I’ve had since I was a boy.”
Torreira also spoke about his experience of watching Boca last year in Madrid where they succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to rivals River Plate in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final.
“I was with several friends in the Madrid final. I did not think I was going to suffer so much, I lived it with a lot of nerves. It was not as we wanted, but reaching the final is not for anyone. It was a nice show because I had never had the chance to see Boca,” he claimed.
Still only 22, Torreira has a lot of time to fulfil his dream, and Arsenal fans will be hoping that the Uruguayan will have a long and successful career at the Emirates before he returns to his continent for the twilight of his career.
