Arsenal transfer news: Unai Emery may miss out on Lucas Torreira as claims emerge
Arsenal transfer news: Lucas Torreira could yet sign for someone else
Arsenal boss Emery is keen to sign Torreira, who has caught the eye for Uruguay at the World Cup in Russia.
The 22-year-old is wanted to add steel to the Gunners’ midfield, with reports claiming Emery wants a player in the mould of PSG and Chelsea players Marco Verratti and N’Golo Kante.
Yet Football London have claimed that reports Torreira is already an Arsenal player are wide of the mark.
The player has done little to dispel talk of a move to the Gunners, recently saying: "Arsenal are a good team, one of the most important in the world, but at this moment I am focused on playing for my country."
That has led to some publications to claim the youngster has already signed a Gunners deal.
