The father of Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira says his time with the London club is over.

The Uruguay international is currently on-loan with Atletico Madrid and has declared he wants to sign for Boca Juniors.

"I do not think Lucas will play for Arsenal this year. If it is not in Boca, then his future will be in Italy or France," said Ricardo Torreira.

"The move to Boca will be quite difficult, there has been no movement. It just happened out of a wish, we created trouble for Boca.

"I do not know if Boca is in a position that they can meet what Arsenal will ask for Lucas."
