Torino are battling Atletico Madrid for Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira.

Torino battling Atletico Madrid for Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira.

Sky Italia says Torino are still very much in the hunt for the Uruguayan despite Atletico currently winning the race for his signature.

It has also been reported that Torino directors are currently in London to negotiate a deal with Arsenal.

Once both sides can thrash out a deal, perhaps on loan with an obligation to buy, reports suggest agreeing personal terms should be relatively straightforward.

Torreira enjoyed his best spell of football under Marco Giampaolo at Sampdoria and is now interested in a reunion at Torino.
