Garth Crooks Hails 'Massive Impact' of Arsenal New Boy Following Impressive Fulham Win

Former Spurs man and current BBC pundit Garth Crooks has claimed that summer signing Lucas Torriera is having a huge impact on Arsenal, both on and off the pitch.

Torreira joined the Gunners from Sampdoria for a fee said to be in the region of £26m after impressing during his time in Italy and, after initially being made to wait to break into the starting XI, he has gone on to impress during his brief spell in north London.

The Uruguayan was particularly impressive at the weekend as Arsenal thumped five past Fulham. His tough tackling and sharp interception skills were on full show, indicating that he has more than adapted to life in the Premier League.
