Torreira moved to Arsenal this summer for £26.4 million from Serie A side Sampdoria. The Uruguayan international struggled to make his way into the starting eleven initially but since then, Torreira has gone on to establish himself in the Arsenal starting XI and he has made 17 appearances in Premier League for Arsenal.
