Arsenal's latest foray into this summer's transfer window is undisputedly another excellent piece of business.
Indeed, securing the capture of multifaceted midfielder, Lucas Torreira, who's been one of the premier operators in his nominal position in Serie A over the last two years, adds essential quality, intelligence and toughness to Unai Emery's men.
Usually deployed at the base of midfield in a four-pronged diamond, he's developed exceptionally under the guidance of Sampdoria manager, Marco Giampaolo, who's played a crucial role in him becoming such a wonderfully skilled and consistent performer.
By instilling an exciting, possession style, that contains lots of vertical, quick combination play, but also plenty of patient ball circulation in build up, Giampaolo's philosophy has given Torreira the perfect platform to hone his skills.
