Arsenal Midfielder Has Already Decided His Next Move After Confirming Emirates Exit Wish

Arsenal star Lucas Torreira has already decided on his next club ahead of this summer.

Torreira is currently out on loan, spending the season with Atletico Madrid, but having started just three times in La Liga so far, it's unlikely he will be kept on beyond this campaign.

But that will suit Torreira, who has already decided he wants to spend another season away from Arsenal, but not with Atletico Madrid.

Instead, the Uruguayan wants to return to South America to link up with Argentine giants Bocas Juniors, a move that would be inspired by the passing of his mother.

"I'm dying to play in Boca. If not now, in June or later. When my mother passed away, I told my agent that I don't want to play in Europe anymore, and I want to go to Boca," he told ESPN Argentina.

"Hopefully the teams will agree a loan for a year. Because I don't know how many millions I'm worth, but for Boca it's a lot of money."

Arsenal paid as much as £27million to sign Torreira from Sampdoria in 2018, and he has made 63 Premier League appearances since, scoring three times from midfield.

The 25-year-old is under contract with the Gunners until 2023, meaning it might be hard for Arsenal to grant his Boca Juniors wish, or at least on a permanent basis.

Though, as Torreira eludes to, there could be the option of another loan, depending on whether Arsenal would be happy to loan him out again having spent so much to sign him initially.

Still only 25, Arsenal will want to reclaim money from Torreira if they have seen the last of him, though a good loan fee and a large contribution towards the midfielder's wages could sway them.

Elneny Eyeing New Contract At Arsenal After Earning Second Chance Under Arteta

The Egyptian midfielder spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Besiktas but has been welcomed back into the Gunners fold by a Spanish tactician Mohamed Elneny is looking to complete a remarkable turnaround at Arsenal by landing himself a contract extension. The Egyptian midfielder appeared destined to be heading for the exits when Unai Emery sent him out on loan to Besiktas at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, with alternative options being favoured in north London. Another Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, has found room for the 28-year-old within his plans, though, and it could be that fresh terms are now thrashed out at Emirates Stadium. What has been said? Elneny has said in the Evening Standard: “Of course, for me I am always loyal to Arsenal. “And if Arsenal say to me: ‘Sign a new contract’, of course I would be happy to do this.” When does Elneny’s current deal expire? Arsenal snapped up a hard-working performer from FC Basel in January 2016. Elneny has taken in 119 appearances for the...

Two Premier League Clubs Want On-Loan Arsenal Man

Crystal Palace and Leeds United are interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the summer. The Arsenal man has spent this second half of the season on loan at West Brom after finding first-team chances scarce at the Emirates. He could have joined several teams but chose Sam Allardyce’s struggling side because they guaranteed him minutes in midfield. He has been an ever-present in their team since he made the move from the Emirates. It remains unclear if his performances have earned him the right to get more playing time at Arsenal next season. However, if the Gunners decide that he can leave, the two Premier League teams will pounce to sign him, according to Mirror Football. They face competition from AS Monaco from outside, but he is likely to choose an England stay. Leeds has been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League this season. Palace is looking to reduce the average age of their squad when the transfer window reopens again and they consider him to be one ...

Arsenal Started Negotiations With 19-Year-Old Brazilian Striker

Kaio Jorge has become a hot property in the transfer market ahead of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian centre-forward is being chased by Arsenal and Chelsea among several other top European teams, with his contract with Santos running out in December. Kaio joined the Santos academy in 2012 at the age of 10 before making rapid strides within the youth setup. Jorge made such a quick impression on his youth bosses that he ended up making his first-team debut in 2018 while still only 16. Since then, he has progressed considerably and has gone on to play 50 further games for Santos. The Brazilian club, though, are in a precarious position over the future of the 19-year-old striker, whose current deal will expire when the year ends. This situation has alerted a number of top clubs in Europe, including Gunners and Chelsea, to the possible availability of the 19-year-old striker. Gunners are set to be forced into the market for a striker owing to the uncertain future of Ale...
