According to The Guardian, the Gunners have paid a fee worth 26.5million pounds (€30million) to the Italian club to sign the holding midfield player.

As far as the terms of contract are concerned, Uruguayan outlet Tenfield reported that the player has agreed a five year deal that will make him earn €3million-a-year.

Few days back, the terms were also mentioned by renowned La Gazzetta Dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira, who tweeted that the play breaker will sign a five year contract worth €15million.

Torreira directly contributed in 5 goals in the Serie A last season and we can expect him to partner Ramsey and Xhaka in the center of the park for Arsenal next season.

Praising the 22-year-old, new boss Unai Emery claimed (AFC):

“In Lucas Torreira, we have signed a young player who is a very bright talent in the game. A midfielder with great quality, I have enjoyed watching his performances for Sampdoria in the past two seasons, and we all saw him do very well for Uruguay in the World Cup. He is a young player already with good experience, but who wants to keep on growing. We welcome Lucas to Arsenal and look forward to him joining us soon for pre-season.”
