Italian giants Napoli are plotting a move for Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira, according to a report on the Daily Mail.
The Serie A club are fearing that midfielder Allan will leave the club in January so they have marked Torreira as a potential replacement.
23-year-old Torreira has struggled to nail down a starting spot for the Gunners this season and has been rotated on multiple occasions with Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka, Dani Ceballos and Joe Willock.
The Uruguay international is understood to be upset with the lack of first-team action and could be tempted to make the move to Italy in an attempt to get more playing time.
Should Arsenal be worried?

Definitely. If Allan leaves then Napoli are likely to come with full force to secure Torreira’s signature.
He’s a player who would match Napoli’s intensity and aggression and although he is a fan favourite at the Emirates, he could be persuaded to leave.
Arsenal are currently in a poor run of form and the team seems to be broken, especially after Granit Xhaka’s antics towards the fans. Arsenal need to do everything they can to keep Torreira at the club.
