MONACO IN TALKS FOR TORREIRA

Monaco are in talks with Arsenal over the possibility of taking midfielder Lucas Torreira on loan. Earlier this month, Arsenal technical director Edu revealed a number of clubs had approached Arsenal asking about Torreira’s situation. Fiorentina and Cagliari were interested.
