Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is edging closer to the exit at the Emirates Stadium with Calciomercato reporting that Torino have agreed on a fee with the Gunners.

Following the news, supporters have been reacting on Twitter regarding the potential deal.

The Uruguayan has been forced down the pecking order at the Emirates and a £22 million fee has been agreed for the central midfielder.

Arsenal will make a loss on the player who they signed for £26 million (Sky Sports) from Sampdoria in 2018.

Cashing in on the international might allow Mikel Arteta to finalise his own recruitment before the window slams shut.

The £75,000-a-week (Spotrac) midfielder has failed to really make an impact on the Premier League; struggling for consistency massively.

Torreira has played 89 times for the Gunners but failed to really show supporters what he is capable of.

A departure looks to suit all parties and perhaps more crucially it will see Arsenal raise some funds for their own transfer business.

News of this deal potentially happening has been met with glee among Arsenal supporters.

Here is a selection of Tweets from the Gunners faithful who are pretty happy to see Arsenal raise some funds.
