Torreira has made it clear that he’d be open to a move back to Italy, after Arsenal bough him last summer from Sampdoria for £27m.
“I don’t know if there are many things that I enjoy [in England],” he said last week.
“I think it was better in Italy. England is a totally different world, a very large country.

“The language [barrier] has stopped me, to be able to relate with my team-mates and with the people. It is very difficult when you can’t have dialogue.”
Emery knows that he has to spend if he wants to challenge for a Champions League spot next season.
Any offer for Torreira could tempt the Gunners into selling, as they look to upgrade their current squad, alongside their £40m summer transfer budget.
“I think we can improve first, by spending money to achieve players,” Emery recently said.
