Lucas Torreira is getting his public relations game together after claiming he feels “at home” at Arsenal.
The battling midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to AC Milan to link up with is old boss at Sampdoria Marco Giampaolo.
Sportitalia claimed last month that the Uruguay star had told Arsenal he wanted to leave, while Gazzetta Dello Sport have insisted that Torreira is Giampaolo’s no.1 summer target.
Torreira though, who last month admitted to struggling with life in England, has further distanced himself from the Milan talk.
“It’s been a pretty big change for me. Genoa is a much smaller city than London, but every week I feel more comfortable and learn new things about the way of life,” he told Four Four Two.
“When I arrived, we saw traditional landmarks, trying to get my bearings.
“Now it feels more like home. It was the best option. This is a huge club with massive support across the world.
“The fans and everyone associated with the club have made me feel so welcome. I really feel like a part of the family here.”
The Metro claim “Arsenal rebuffed Milan’s approach for Torreira” with the player claiming recently that there had been no approach from the Rossoneri.
“Nobody from AC Milan has got in touch with me, today I’m in the Premier League and happy to be part of Arsenal,” Torreira said, ahead of Uruguay’s game against Peru.
“It cost me the adaptation, it’s not easy, but I only think about that team.
“I’m happy to be there.”
Calciomercato last week claimed Arsenal were preparing to offer Torreira a new contract to keep him out of the clutches of AC Milan
