Torreira makes Arsenal statement amid strong AC Milan interest

Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreiera says that he is "at home" at Arsenal.

Rumors in Italy and England had indicated that Torreira wanted to move back to Italy this summer.

AC Milan are the team with the greatest interest in the defensive midfielder.

However, the 23-year-old admits that he is happy with the team that he joined last summer from Sampdoria.

"It's been a pretty big change for me. Genoa is a much smaller city than London, but every week I feel more comfortable and learn new things about the way of life," he told Four Four Two.

"When I arrived, we saw traditional landmarks, trying to get my bearings. Now it feels more like home.

"It was the best option. This is a huge club with massive support across the world.

"The fans and everyone associated with the club have made me feel so welcome. I really feel like a part of the family here."
