Lucas Torreira wants to make his loan move to Atletico Madrid permanent.

The Arsenal midfielder had been struggling to secure a starting spot at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, even though he had settled well when he first arrived back in 2018.

‘I’ve suffered a lot of things, I had a lot of personal problems and more than anything my family also suffered,’ he told Uruguyan outlet Ovacion.

‘I know that I am a year on loan. But I’ve been here for four or five days and it seems like it’s a lot, because I’ve been treated very well.’

Arsenal signed Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid recently and sent off Torreira for a loan to their side. However now, Torreira has admitted that he would like to stay back at Atleti after being not so happy with the Gunners.

‘It is a new opportunity in my life, in which I have fought a lot, because Atletico has always been one of my dreams, one of my goals as a team,’ he added.

‘And being able to achieve it at the age of 24 is something very important.

‘It all depends on how I go during the season, which I hope is very good, and maybe in the future I can stay in the club.’

‘I would like to thank all the people I met at Arsenal during these two incredible years, all the outstanding staff working on and off the pitch.

‘And, of course, I would like to hug all the Arsenal fans for the amazing support they have been showing me since the first day.

‘The chant you sang for me will always be in my heart. It was an absolute privilege playing for Arsenal these last two seasons.

‘Thanks a lot! We’ll catch up soon. Once a Gunner…always a Gunner!’
