Arsenal transfer news: Lucas Torreira could join the Gunners by the end of next week

ARSENAL transfer target Lucas Torreira could join the Gunners by the end of next week.

The Gunners agreed a £26.5m (€30m) deal with Sampdoria for the midfielder, 22.

Torreira was expected to undergo his Arsenal medical during the World Cup in Russia this summer, however, he snubbed the Gunners' offer.

And according to Football London, Arsenal hope to complete the signing of Torreira by the end of next week.

They reckon the Gunners will allow Torreira to fly home to Uruguay if the midfielder wishes to do so.

However, Arsenal expect the midfielder to fly to London to undergo his medical and pen a four-year deal before heading back to South America.

Torreira has been vocal on his move to the Gunners, with the Uruguay international, who was knocked out of the World Cup yesterday by France, revealing it was his decision to reject Arsenal's medical proposal.

When asked if he decided to undergo his Gunners medical after the tournament, Torreira said: "Yes, we could have done things differently, but I did not want to think about other things.

"The World Cup is important and being part of this squad meant a lot to me.

"But now I have more time my future will be very clear.

"The important thing is that I'm happy to have been part of this squad and this World Cup, so I thank all the people who accompanied us."

Torreira will become Unai Emery's fourth summer signing.

The midfielder will follow Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno and Sokratis Papastathopoulos to the Emirates as Emery looks to mount a Premier League title charge this season.
