After a summer of speculation, Torreira joined English club Arsenal on 10 July 2018 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £26.4m. Torreira registered his first assist of the season, by setting up Alexandre Lacazette's winning goal in a 3-2 win over Cardiff City. Since then he's probably the main reason why Arsenal have now gone nine games unbeaten in all competition following a 5-1 victory against Cardiff City.

Fact: Arsenal concedes on average 0.5 goals per 90 minutes when Lucas Torreira is on the pitch compared to 2.2 per 90 when he isn't.

Not just his individual performance but also because of him, the likes of Granit Xhaka has been now given a more attacking role which is proven key for Arsenal. You know you've made an impact when you've made Arsenal fans sing "We've got our Arsenal back."
