Arsenal are said to have concerns about Torreira’s lack of minutes in LaLiga and AS claimed that Valencia, Edu’s sports director, has been contacted.

He said: ‘What do I need to say to stop this speech? I already said it’s not going anywhere. When I say he’s not going anywhere, what more do you want me to say?
‘He played the last games. He didn’t play the last one because it was an opportunity to let players like Gedson down [Fernandes] get minutes.
‘If someone is talking to other clubs, I’d say you don’t waste your time.’
