Gilberto Silva believes Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira "makes things easy for himself" on the pitch and is hoping he can have a similar impact to that of N’Golo Kante at Chelsea.
Many have suggested that the Gunners have failed to replace former defensive midfielder and World Cup winner Gilberto after he left the club in 2008, with the likes of Mathieu Flamini, Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny all featuring.
Torreira arrived from Italian side Sampdoria for a fee in the region of £26 million ($34m) after an impressive World Cup campaign with Uruguay - and Gilberto is hoping hat the north Londoners have finally found the perfect player to protect the back four.
