Arsenal could use Lucas Torreira as a makeweight in a player-plus-cash offer for Lazio striker Joaquin Correa.

Il Messaggero, via the Daily Star, is reporting that the Premier League giants are weighing up whether to use the Uruguay international as a sweetener in a package for Correa this summer.

The report states that Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri is thought to be keen to bring Torreira to the Rome club to strengthen the former Chelsea FC manager’s midfield.

The Gunners could welcome Lazio’s interest in signing Torreira given that the north London outfit have also been keeping tabs on Correa, whose agent is pushing to secure a move away from Lazio in the 2021 summer transfer window and the Argentinian frontman would prefer to move to the English Premier League.

Torreira scored eight goals and made three assists in 28 games in Serie A last season.

The Argentine moved to Serie A in 2015 when he moved to Sampdoria before a two-year spell at Sevilla.
