Ex-Arsenal star left in tears and pays touching tribute to his late mum after title win

Former Arsenal star Lucas Torreira was left in tears after helping Galatasaray to win the Turkish Super Lig title.

The midfielder joined the Istanbul-based side last summer from the Gunners, with Torreira having no place in Mikel Arteta's plans at the Emirates Stadium. Having endured a frustrating summer after Fiorentina declined to sign him permanently following a loan move, Torreira has found a home at Galatasaray.

The Uruguayan has made 30 appearances in the Turkish top-flight, with 27 of those coming as starts. That included a 4-1 win over Ankaragücü on Tuesday night which secured Galatasaray's first Turkish title for four years.
