#2. Introduction of a pure defensive midfielder
Granit Xhaka was signed by Wenger to give his midfield some steel which has been lacking since the exit of Patrick Viera. Wenger has tried many players throughout his career at Arsenal, but never really wholeheartedly filled the defensive midfield position with a specialist.
He converted Arteta into a defensive midfielder, tried playing Ramsey there for some matches, but his inability to bring a world-class defensive midfielder exposed the Gunners backline too often.
The signing of Lucas Torreira brought some much-needed enthusiasm. Having come on as a substitute in the first 5 matches, Torreira has started the last 4 matches and has shown what Arsenal were missing all these years.
The fact that Arsenal also has Matteo Guendouzi, an able tackler and possession-retainer shows Emery's emphasis on structuring the defensive part of the Gunners.
Torreira's reputation is increasing day by day and the diminutive Uruguayan is starting to make an impact.
