Sampdoria midfielder Lucas Torreira has dropped a possible hint over his move to Arsenal during this summer’s transfer window.
The Gunners are said to have already begun discussions with Sampdoria for the Uruguayan and a recent report has suggested that they have already agreed to trigger the player’s €25m release clause.
Despite this, there has been a minor stumbling block in regards to agent fees and the player’s representative has asked a week’s time to decide on Torreira’s future with Napoli and Borussia Dortmund also to be interested.
Amidst of all that, Torreira has dropped an Arsenal transfer hint on social media which has been surprisingly spotted by Football.London.
Torreira, who is currently with Uruguay ahead of the summer World Cup, has liked both Arsenal and Mesut Ozil on Instagram and this may suggest that he could be off to the Emirates.
In recent times, Brazilian midfielder Fred followed a similar step of liking fan posts prior to his Manchester United switch but nothing is guaranteed with the current state of the market.
A number of deals have been hijacked at the 11th hour by different teams across the world and there is no assurance that Torreira will become a Gunner unless a deal is finalised.
Nevertheless, the supporters could be pleased that the club are looking to sort the weak links within the squad and it seems Mislintat may pursue three more signing this summer.
Aside from right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner, the German is said to be eyeing a goalkeeper, central midfielder and centre-back to complete the club’s summer business.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos is expected to be the central defender to bolster the backline but it remains to be seen who the remaining signings could be.
