Arsenal: Goodbye Lucas Torreira – It just didn’t work out for him at the Emirates
Lucas Torreira will not be making an attempt in trying to impress Mikel Arteta but instead wants to move closer to home if a transfer presents itself.
The Gunner out on loan to Atletico Madrid knows the situation he is in the middle of and that a future for him at the Emirates is something of a dream now.
Having been used as a bargaining chip in a deal to bring Mikel Arteta’s priority signing in Thomas Partey has given him enough reason to move on with his footballing career.
The player is now looking for a way out of North London and the requested destination is not Madrid. Helping him solidify his decision to find a route out of Europe has been his limited game time in Spain.
Lucas Torreira to @federicobulos: “I want to go to Boca Juniors now. I am 25 years old and I know it’s a club that plays for great targets. I’d like to make the fans happy... but I know it's not easy. Boca should reach an agremeent with Arsenal for a one-year loan”. 🔴 #AFC #Boca

He is as important for Diego Simeone as he is for Arteta – not that important and would probably never be seen as a possible candidate for a regular first XI player.
