Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira open to summer exit

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is prepared to leave this summer.

Torreira has failed to hold down a regular spot in the starting XI in recent months and seems surplus to Mikel Arteta's plans going forward.

The 24-year-old has been attracting interest from AC Milan, Fiorentina and Torino, and has hinted he is ready to move on.

"Today I need to think about my future very well," Torreira told Sport890.

"I have a contract with the club and I need to respect it, obviously, if I have to leave it will be for the best.

"We have to be calm and wait."

He added: “Last season I played continuously, this one less so.

“This year has been more complicated: I have lost continuity and confidence. I do not like this.

"At this age I need to play to be called up for the national team."
