Lucas Torreira has penned one emotional message to Sampdorian fans after sealing his switch to Arsenal earlier this month.
Torreira featured for Sampdoria couple of seasons and formed an integral part of the blucerchiati’s. His performances for Uruguay at World Cup shows ‘Why Arsenal broke bank to acquire his services’.
“Goodbye is too strong a word, so I’ll just say ‘see you later’,” he said on Instagram.
“I’m doing this because Sampdoria have been my family for two seasons and will stay in my heart forever.
“I’m saying ‘see you later’ because, even though I’ll be far away, I’ll never forget the importance of having had you all on my side since my first training session, during which time I wore the most beautiful jersey in the world.
“I’ve grown a lot in these two years, you’ve welcomed me, trusted me and made me feel like one of you. And I’ll stay one of you.
“Hello, thank you and see you later, Sampdoria. You’ll always have one more fan. A hug, Lucas.”
