Midfielder Lucas Torreira wants to leave Arsenal and return to Italy.

Midfield marshal Lucas Torreira wants to leave Arsenal and return to the Serie A.

Torreira was set to miss the rest of the campaign but with the COVID-19 chaos he has a chance to participate when the Premier League resumes

Uruguay international Lucas Torreira is keen to return to Italy, according to the midfielder’s agent.

Torreira joined the Gunners from Sampdoria in the summer of 2018 for a reported fee of £26million and has made 50 appearances in all competitions for the north London club.

“Lucas had been in a bit of a bad mood over some technical differences, then he recovered," his representative Pablo Bentancur told TMW.

"And the injury arrived, fortunately, less serious than expected. Today he is completely recovered, I believe he will be a market man.

“I will have to speak to Arsenal. The player would love to return to Italy, but it must be acknowledged that Arsenal treated him very well and behaved great."
