OFFICIAL: ARSENAL SEAL LUCAS TORREIRA MOVE

Date:

Arsenal have this afternoon officially announced that Lucas Torreira has signed for the Gunners. The fee is believed to be in the region of £22 million.

Torreira is still only young but he has already shown he has all the ability he needs to develop into a world-class midfielder.

The youngster plays most of his games as a central defensive midfielder. However, he can also drop back to centre-back and push forward to centre mid and even on a few occasions, central attacking midfield.

Torreira began his career at Serie B side, Pescara Primavera. The Uruguayan played 29 games for their first team scoring four goals in that period.

Torreira then earned himself a move to Serie A side Sampdoria for a fee believed to be around £1.8 million.

The defensive midfielder has played 74 games for the Serie A side, scoring four and assisting four in that time.

Torreira also helped guide Sampdoria to a 10th place finish last season in the Serie A. He is a strong midfielder who reads the game very well and is superb at making interceptions.

The Uruguayan also played 38 games in all competitions last season for Sampdoria, scoring four and assisting one.
