Mikel Arteta ‘left angry’ over Arsenal snub as agent offer insight into desperate transfer | Football | Sport

Despite impressing initially after signing for the Gunners from Sampdoria back in 2018, Torreira has found himself surplus to requirements under Mikel Arteta.

And although facilitating an exit for Torreira in the summer could prove to be relatively straightforward, Arteta is facing a bigger challenge in his bid to finally source an elite striker.

The Spaniard gave disgraced captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the green light to join Barcelona for nothing in the final hours of the January transfer window – even after the Gunners missed out on Vlahovic.

Recent reports have claimed that Arteta could reignite his interest in Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez, who is rumoured to be back on the market.
