Lucas Torreira joined Arsenal in the summer of 2018 having starred for Uruguay in the World Cup and further boosted his stock at The Emirates, making 34 Premier League appearances; scoring and assisting two goals each while also winning plenty admirers for his combative and no holds barred displays in holding midfield.

Expectedly, his form has not gone unnoticed and Serie A side AC Mian have identified the 22-year-old as a potential transfer target.

In light of this, Torreira has come out to assure Arsenal fans that he is going nowhere and this could come as a bitter blow to the Rossoneri who were recently banned from the Europa League for breaching FFP rules.

Chelsea prepared to recall Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid if they fail to meet their valuation

Having failed to make a mark at Chelsea in his first year and a half, Alvaro Morata was sent on loan to Atletico Madrid in the 2019 Winter transfer window.

The 26-year-old had signed for The Blues for a club record fee in the summer of 2018 but struggled under successive coaches in Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri.

The Spanish international enjoyed a new lease of life under Diego Simeone, scoring six goals from 17 matches in all competitions and is said to favor a stay in the Spanish Capital.

However, according to the Telegraph, Chelsea have given Los Rojiblancos an ultimatum to pay £50m for the Spanish international and this is a figure Atletico are unwilling to meet as they would understandably be cash strapped having made a €126m purchase of Portuguese international Joao Felix.

This impasse coupled with Chelsea's transfer ban means that Alvaro Morata could well be on his way back to Chelsea for the start of next season.
