Lucas Torreira leaves Arsenal to join Galatasaray in permanent deal worth £5.5m as midfielder becomes seventh departure of the summer

Midfielder Lucas Torreira has left Arsenal to join Turkish club Galatasaray on a permanent deal.

Uruguay international Torreira spent the last two seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina respectively.

The 26-year-old made 89 appearances for the Gunners after moving from Sampdoria in July 2018 at the start of Unai Emery's reign.

I am very happy and excited to be a new @GalatasaraySK player. I am convinced that this is the beginning of a long and successful history together.
Thank you for trusting me and I promise to leave everything for these colors.
