Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Uruguay international midfielder Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria for £26m.
It’s already known that the Uruguay international will wear number 11 shirt.
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."
"He is a young player already with good experience, but who wants to keep on growing," added Emery.
Torreira will join on a five-year deal in August after a post-World Cup break.
