Lucas Torreira's Arsenal career is officially over after the Uruguayan midfielder agreed to join Turkish side Galatasaray.
The 26-year-old arrived at the Emirates in July 2018, and made 50 appearances in all competitions in his first season in North London.
While he did feature again heavily during the 2019/20 COVID-19 hit campaign, Torreira fell down the pecking order at Arsenal, spending the last two seasons out on loan at Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina.

And football journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Torreira has officially agreed to join Galatasaray on a three-year deal for between €6-7m plus add-ons.
In a tweet, Romano wrote: "Official, confirmed. Dries Mertens and Lucas Torreira are Galatasaray players. Documents are signed, both will be in Istanbul tonight. Mertens joins until June 2023 with one year option; Torreira joins until June 2025 for €6/7m plus add-ons to Arsenal."
Torreira is just one of a handful of players Arsenal have been keen to move on this summer.
And his departure could improve the Gunners chances of landing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Arsenal remain keen on signing the Belgian midfielder from Leicester, with the Foxes needing to move players out the door before they can bring in any new signings.
They are the only Premier League side who have yet to make a signing this summer.
While Leicester are adamant they want to keep ahold of the 25-year-old, he is out of contract next summer, which means Brendan Rodgers and co could be forced to cash in.
Depending on whether Arsenal are receiving the full €6-7m up front, that could go a long way in helping sporting director Edu bump up the Gunners offer for Tielemans, who would be an excellent addition to Mikel Arteta's ranks.
And with the end of the transfer window drawing ever closer, Arsenal could likely begin to starting testing Leicester resolve heading into the final weeks of August.
