Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has revealed that it is his “dream” to play for Argentinian side Boca Juniors in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Uruguay international supported Boca as a child and has professed his love of the club, which boasts a huge following in South America.<\/p>\n

Will Torreira join Boca one day? Five things you need to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Torreira joined Arsenal last summer from Serie A side Sampdoria for a transfer fee of \u00a326 million.<\/li>\n
  2. The 23-year-old has made 42 appearances in all competitions in his first season in English football, quickly becoming a crowd favourite at the Emirates.<\/li>\n
  3. Torreira has spoken of his “dream” to wear the shirt of Boca Juniors at some stage during his career.<\/li>\n
  4. The midfielder even travelled to Madrid in December to watch Boca in the Copa Libertadores final against River Plate.<\/li>\n
  5. Boca’s sporting director Nicolas Burdisso has said<\/a> he was delighted to hear Torreira speak glowingly about his club.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The majority of South America’s finest players spend their best years in Europe, but retain a close allegiance to a club from the continent of their birth.<\/p>\n

    Torreira, who is preparing for Arsenal’s vitally important Europa League final match against Chelsea later this month, is no different.<\/p>\n

    An immediate move to Boca is certainly unlikely, but the midfielder would relish an opportunity to pull on the famous blue and gold shirt before he hands up his boots.<\/p>\n

    He said:<\/a> “One day, I want to play for Boca and wear their shirt.<\/p>\n

    “It\u2019s a dream I have had since I was a little kid. It\u2019s no secret, my family and friends know that.”<\/p>\n
