Arsenal's midfielder Lucas Torreira has reiterated his desire to seek a move away from the club this summer.

Torreira still has one year left on his current contract but is currently negotiating for a permanent move elsewhere.

The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal are also looking to sell the former Sampdoria midfielder who is not part of Mikel Arteta's plans.

From the beginning, they told me that I didn't have a place, so I don't want to stay either because I suffered a lot, it cost me a lot to adapt and my idea is to go to Italy or Spain.

It was a long year with a lot of competition, and it was exhausting; I want to relax with my family. What I wanted was to stay at Fiorentina, but it didn't happen for various reasons, so we'll look for a new direction.

The Uruguayan made 35 appearances for Fiorentina last season scoring five goals in the process. He was part of Unai Emery's squad that made it to the UEFA Europa League final of 2019 but lost to Chelsea in Baku, Azerbaijan.
