Lucas Torreira's Father Says 'Scared' Son Ready for Arsenal Transfer

The father of Sampdoria midfielder Lucas Torreira has said his son is ready for the challenges that await him at Arsenal, despite conceding he and his entourage are scared of what lies in store in the Premier League.

MailOnline's Robert Cottingham reported the 22-year-old is on the verge of a £25 million move to the Emirates Stadium and provided quotes Ricardo Torreira, Lucas' father, gave to Teledoce (via Goal's Patric Ridge):

"There will be people that will accompany him. He won't be alone. It's a big change [going to England] and we don't want to think about it yet because we're scared.
