Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira on AC Milan radar

AC Milan are eyeing Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira.

The out-of-favour Gunners star claims he will respect his contract but reckons a move "will be for the best".

Earlier this year Torreira piqued interest from Serie A with Napoli keen on bringing the player to Italy in January.

But the Telegraph says AC Milan, who finished sixth in Italy's top football league, are leading the race for the Uruguayan's signature should Arsenal opt to sell.

Reports suggest that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta could be willing to allow the Uruguay star to leave the Emirates for pastures new
