Unai Emery kicked off his season with Arsenal with 5 signings, out of which two of them are Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi. Without a shadow of a doubt, these two are the most loved players at Arsenal currently. Guendouzi, at the age of 19, is already better than most of the premier league midfielders, and he is certainly one for the future.

On the other hand, Lucas Torreira has been a class apart. The Urugyuan is loving life under at London under Unai Emery and he has turned out to be one of the best players for Arsenal this season. Well timed tackles, incredible efficiency, tremendous focus and a great goalscoring knack sum up Torreira's season with Arsenal.

These two have been playing a vital part under Unai Emery and unsurprisingly, they both were Unai's first signings as an Arsenal manager.
