A Gunners legend has hailed the impact made by a tenacious Uruguay international midfielder during his short time at Emirates Stadium
Lucas Torreira has seen his “warrior” qualities hailed by Arsenal legend Robert Pires, with the Uruguayan considered to be shrewd addition for the Gunners.
After a long period without a recognised and trusted midfield enforcer, Unai Emery's side were compelled to invest in Torreira after seeing him star at the 2018 World Cup.
In the end, a £26 million ($34m) deal was struck to take the 22-year-old to north London from Sampdoria.
