Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is eyeing a return to Italy, it has been claimed.

Calciomercato.com says the 23-year-old has pleaded with Arsenal chiefs to carefully consider enquiries about his services.

AC Milan are said to be at the top of the list of potential suitors, as they look to bolster their chances of securing Champions League qualification, and will also consider taking Granit Xhaka if Torreira isn't available.

Despite starting against both Wolves and Leicester, Torreira has been subbed off on both occasions.

The former Sampdoria midfielder has been frustrated at his lack of game time during periods under Unai Emery.
