Arsenal are set to recall Lucas Torreira from his loan with Atletico Madrid.

The Uruguayan midfielder, 24, was allowed to leave by Mikel Arteta last summer after being deemed surplus to requirements.

He was used as bait by the Gunners in their pursuit of Thomas Partey as he headed in the opposite direction for the campaign.

But he has started just twice for the LaLiga leaders with doubts over his future beginning to mount.

Florence-based newspaper La Nazione are claiming that Fiorentina have reignited their interest in Torreira.

The Serie A side want the star, who moved to the Emirates in 2018 from Sampdoria, on loan for the second part of the season.

And they state Arsenal are ready to end his current agreement with Atletico immediately because of Torreira's lack of game time and send him to Italy instead.
