One of the most impactful players for this season has been Lucas Torreira The Uruguayan's arrival has certainly been a blessing for the Gunners. The 22-year-old is someone who radiates positivity on the pitch and he is exactly the kind of midfielder the North London club have missed in the recent decade.

Torreira was signed from Sampodiara this summer for a fee of £25 million. Arsenal was in desperate need of a competent central defensive midfielder; someone who could dictate the game and protect the back four efficiently. Torreira took up the challlenge and stepped up for the task. He is a talented and explosive midfielder who has the calibre to break apart defenses with his passes. At the age of just 22, he looks more confident than most veteran players

Arsenal have only lost one league game this season when Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka started the game in a double-pivot midfield. This tells us how influential, he has been for Emery's side.
