Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has sent a blunt message to clubs interested in Lucas Torreira.

The Uruguay midfielder was seemingly on his way out of Arsenal after spending last season at Fiorentina.

Valencia have come in hard for the 26-year-old, but Arteta has refused to let him leave.

Torreira was not on the bench for Arsenal's win over Orlando City on Wednesday, with reports claiming he is on his way to Italy to join Juventus.

However, asked about Torreira's future, Arteta responded bluntly: "Lucas Torreira is our player."

The Gunners have stated that Torreira has left Arsenal's camp in Florida due to 'personal reasons'.
