Arsenal have completed the deal for Uruguayan international midfielder Lucas Torreira. The 22 year old arrives on a fee of £26m on a five year deal.
He featured at this summer's World Cup in Russia for Uruguay. With three starts and two substitute appearances.
Speaking of his latest signing, Arsenal manager, Unai Emery said "In Lucas Torreira we have signed a young player who is a very bright talent in the game. A midfielder with great quality."
Standing at just 5ft 5in, he spent four years in Italy, two of which where with Sampdoria, where he made a total of 71 appearances.
He becomes Arsenal's fourth signing of the transfer window.
The club is expected to take that number to five when they confirm the capture of 19 year old France under-20 international Matteo Guendouzi who is expected to join from French side, Lorient. He reportedly underwent a medical at the club on Tuesday.
