Lucas Torreira has been stupendous for Arsenal so far

#1 Lucas Torreira

Torreira, the diminutive Uruguayan, has been one of the best players of the Premier League this season. He caught everyone’s eyes in the last World Cup, and was signed by Arsenal from Sampdoria subsequently.

Since then, he has given some exceptional performances for them, and made the central midfield position his own. He has already drawn comparison with the legendary Patrick Vieira, and should have a great career ahead.

Torreira has mostly played as a double pivot with Xhaka by his side, and has tormented the opposition with his strong tackles, accurate passing, and speedy runs. Torreira was superb against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, & also scored the match winner against Huddersfield.

Torreira has played in 21 matches for Arsenal so far, and scored a couple of goals for them, including one from a stunning volley against Huddersfield. He is one of the primary reasons behind Arsenal’s revival and good form this season.
