Lucas Torreira is 'not looking to leave Arsenal despite AC Milan links with midfielder happy in Premier League'
- Lucas Torreira enjoyed an impressive first season after joining Arsenal in 2018
- But the midfielder has been linked with a move away from England this summer
- He is believed to be a priority for new AC Milan manager Marco Giampaolo
- But it's claimed the young midfielder is keen to extend his stay in north London
Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira is reportedly happy in England and is not pushing for a move to AC Milan.
The Uruguay international is a target for new Milan coach Marco Giampaolo and reports in Italy have suggested Torreira is agitating to leave.
But, according to the Telegraph, the midfielder is keen to extend his stay in north London, having only joined from Sampdoria last summer.

It's claimed a move back to Italy would appeal to Torreira, given he played under Giampaolo at Serie A side Sampdoria.
The midfielder is currently away with Uruguay at the Copa America and earlier this summer he admitted that the language barrier had made life more difficult in England.
But the midfielder is not believed to be desperate to leave following a mixed first campaign with Arsenal, in which they missed out on the top four and lost in the Europa League final.
Torreira was a shining light for the Gunners, though, and he endeared himself to supporters with a number of impressive performances following his £25million move.
Those displays have reportedly made him a priority for Milan. But former Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis is now in charge at the San Siro and it's claimed he would have to pay a far higher fee to persuade his old club to sell.
