Lucas Torreira joined Arsenal in the summer of 2018, after a strong outing in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He had a pretty decent debut season, where he appeared 34 times for the Gunners, picked up 2 assists and scored 2 goals.

The Uruguayan is a livewire in the midfield who likes to be involved around the park. He is very good in his tackles and interceptions, and is an extremely hard worker on the field. Torreira likes playing short passes and prefers to move the ball around, but gets fouled quite often. He is very good in his defensive duties and is equally adept at playing a defensive midfield role. The Uruguayan has averaged 1.2 tackles and 2.4 interceptions per game in the league.

Torreira has averaged almost 47 passes per game and has 60 accurate long balls to his name. He has a tackle success rate of 60% and has created 3 big chances in the league. He is 9th in our rankings at the end of the season.
