Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira reveals Boca Juniors ambitions

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira admits he has hopes of moving to Boca Juniors in the future.

The 23-year-old has been one of the Gunners' standout players this season after thriving at the Emirates in his debut campaign in England.

But Torreira has admitted he is already thinking of his next move after speaking of his love for Argentinian outfit Boca Juniors.

While he also claimed he was in attendance at the Bernabeu to watch them beat rivals River Plate in the Copa Libertadores final.

He told Fox Sports: "One day, I want to play for Boca and wear their shirt.

"It's a dream I have had since I was a little kid. It's no secret, my family and friends know that.

"I was with several friends [at the Copa Libertadores final in Madrid]. I did not think I was going to suffer so much, I lived it with a lot of nerves.

“It was not as we wanted, but reaching the final is not for anyone. It was a nice show because I had never had the chance to see Boca."
