Arsenal legend makes shocking Lucas Torreira statement

Arsenal legend Paul Merson says Lucas Torreira is overrated player. Since his arrival in summer of 2018, Uruguay international has become a key player for Unai Emery. Torreira’s presence in center made Arsenal balanced in defense and variative when attacking. However, Merson says former Sampdoria man is overrated. "Liverpool wouldn't buy him tomorrow morning, I wouldn't have though any of the top four would." Merson told Sky Sports (via The Sun) "He can and will get better, but he's done great. "They needed it, we all knew that. Arsene Wenger knew it but he was too stubborn to go and get someone." "He could be playing at Southampton and wouldn’t get a mention, or Burnley. No-one would mention it. It’s just that Arsenal needed it so badly. "He gets around people, closes players down, gets everybody fighting. He’s not a natural passer, but he sets the tempo." he added.
