Arguably one of the signings of the season last year, Lucas Torreira enjoyed a fine debut campaign at Arsenal after arriving from Sampdoria in a £26m deal.

The little Uruguayan was a terrier in midfield and captured the hearts of the Gunners faithful, and etched himself into folkore with the side's fourth in a 4-2 comeback win over Tottenham in the north London derby back in December.

After understandably seeing his form tail off towards the end of the season, Torreira's summer isn't quite yet over and he posted a snap on

Despite only joining the Gunners last summer, there are doubts over Torreira's long-term future at the club.

In an interview with Uruguayan outlet Ovacion (as translated by the Evening Standard), Torreira admitted that he has struggled to adapt to the culture and lifestyle in England.

He said: "I don’t know if there are many things that I enjoy. I think it was better in Italy. The language [barrier] has stopped me, to be able to relate with my teammates and with the people. It is very difficult when you can’t have dialogue."

Reports in recent weeks have suggested that Milan would interested in taking the 23-year-old back to Italy, although it remains to be seen whether Arsenal would be willing to cash in on one of their star players.
