Lucas Torreira's move to Arsenal is DONE, according to the Italian press.
Torreira has been linked with a switch to the Premier League club for several weeks.
He's currently away with Uruguay at the World Cup but is expected to return from Russia
and sign on the dotted line for the north London giants.
And Italian newspaper Il SecoloXIX, which is based in Genoa where Torreira plays his
club football for Sampdoria, claim the deal taking him to Arsenal is 'done'.
Arsenal have been busy in the transfer market all summer following the arrival of new manager
Unai Emery.
He's already landed veteran right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free and signed goalkeeper
Bernd Leno.
Sokratis Papadopoulos is also set to join next month from Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal are keen to strengthen their squad, particularly midfield and defence.
They signed Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January so are well stocked
going forward.
But the signing of Lichtsteiner and impending arrivals of Papadopoulos and Torreira point
to new man Emery attempting to bolster the core of his side.
Arsenal have until August 9 to complete all of their summer shopping with the transfer
window closing on the eve of the new Premier League season.
Emery faces a tough start.
The Gunners host champions Manchester City first up before travelling to London rivals
Chelsea in their next match.
