Lucas Torreira joins Atletico Madrid on season loan from Arsenal

After completing his medical on Saturday afternoon, Lucas Torreira has had his loan move from Arsenal to Atletico Madrid confirmed.

Torreira joins Diego Simeone's team on a one year loan deal, with Atletico having the option to make the move permanent for a fee of 20 million euros.

The Uruguay international has made 89 appearances since joining Arsenal from Serie A side Sampdoria ahead of the 2018/19 season. 

The combative midfielder was part of the FA Cup match-winning squad and his goal in the 4-2 north London derby win at Emirates Stadium in November 2018 was a highlight during his first season.
