5 reasons why you shouldn't bet against Arsenal winning a trophy this season

#3 Covering their bases

Torreira definitely adds solidity to the team

Anyone who watched Arsenal last season could spot their weaknesses. Petr Cech seemed way past his expiry date in-goal, the game against Swansea showed enough proof of that. He struggled to keep a clean sheet all season. The defense struggled with Koscielny losing his pace and Bellerin going out of form. Xhaka barely fit into the defensive midfield role.

Sokratis offers defensive stability and is an improvement on Mustafi. Torreira is the hard-tackling midfielder Arsenal have missed since Patrick Vieira left the club. There's finally competition for Bellerin who most definitely underperformed last season.
