Lucas Torreira agrees to Galatasaray move worth £5.5m after two seasons away from the Emirates on loan at Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina... as Mikel Arteta continues to offload fringe players ahead of the new season

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has agreed to join Turkish side Galatasaray.

The clubs are finalising terms on a deal worth an expected £5.5million.

Torreira completed his £25m move to the Emirates in 2018 and has since made 89 appearances for the Gunners.

The Uruguayan international has spent the last two seasons on loan at top flight European outfits Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina, although it seems Mikel Arteta is finally ready to part ways permanently with the midfielder this summer.

Torreira was recruited by Arsenal during Unai Emery's first transfer window in charge of the club, arriving at the Emirates alongside the likes of Bernd Leno, Matteo Guendouzi, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichtsteiner.
