Torino 'weighing up January move for Lucas Torreira'

Torino are reportedly weighing up a January move for Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira.

The 24-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements at the Emirates Stadium over the summer and subsequently joined Atletico Madrid on loan.

The Uruguay international has already made seven appearances for Diego Simeone's side, including three Champions League outings against Bayern Munich, Red Bull Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow.

Atletico do not have a future purchase agreement with the Gunners, though, and according to Marca, Torino are considering making a winter move for the South American.

The report claims that a lack of regular starts for Los Rojiblancos between now and January could lead him to consider a return to Italy on a permanent basis.

Torreira's existing deal with Arsenal is due to run until the summer of 2023.
