Lazio will challenge Fiorentina for Arsenal outcast Lucas Torreira.

The Uruguay midfielder, 26, spent last season on loan at Fiorentina.

But the Serie A side failed to trigger their option to buy him on a permanent deal worth £12.5million.

Tuttomercatoweb.com reports Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri wants to bring the midfielder to Rome.

The story also claims that Fiorentina are still hopeful of a deal for Torreira.
