Lucas Torreira has made a great start to his Arsenal career and has already become a cult hero at the Emirates. But the long competitive Premier League season is starting to take a toll on the player and a disappointing performance in a 5-1 defeat to Liverpool saw him lose his starting place in the next game against Fulham.

The game served to remind everyone that the Uruguayan is still only 22 years old and Arsenal has no alternative for the player. This is where experienced Mexican international Hector Herrera comes in.

An extremely consistent player that can go both ways could add additional steel to the Arsenal midfield. At 28 years old, the Porto captain will add leadership qualities to a team that some believe lacks natural leaders. A loan move for the player in January, especially with Champions League round of 16 on the horizon for Porto, makes this deal a very difficult one to complete.
