Arsenal chiefs 'furious at Atletico Madrid over their treatment of loanee Lucas Torreira... and they believe LaLiga side are trying to deliberately devalue their player amid him starting just TWICE in the league this season'

Arsenal are ‘furious’ about Lucas Torreira's lack of game time at Atletico Madrid and could recall the midfielder from the Spanish capital.

Torreira joined Atletico on a season long loan deal in October after being cast into the shadows under Mikel Arteta following a serious ankle injury.

Having started just two games for Diego Simeone's side this season, Arsenal chiefs believe Atletico are trying to devalue Torreira's price tag.
