Arsenal are close to finalising a £26million deal for Uruguay midfielder Lucas Torreira, according to the Daily Telegraph. It is hoped the deal for the 22-year-old can be done once he finishes his World Cup campaign with Uruguay, the paper reports. The Gunners are also said to have had positive contract talks with Aaron Ramsey.

Watford have angered West Brom after bidding just £1million for goalkeeper Ben Foster, the Daily Mirror reports. The relegated Baggies value him at around £10-12million and are angry that the Hornets have unsettled the 35-year-old with such a low bid, the paper adds.
