Lucas Torreira reveals the biggest challenge he faces at Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira, who has impressed Gunners fans with his combative displays –the last that came in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening, has revealed the biggest challenge he faces at London club (Via Mirror.co.uk) "Moving to London has been completely new for me – it’s another country, another culture, another way of life," he told Sportsbeat. "I’m quite a normal guy, very natural. I spend a lot of time training but I’ve made the most of my free time to explore the city a bit. "It’s important to discover what’s good to do in a city and London is one of the most important cities in the world. "There are lots of new things but I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time here. "The biggest challenge has probably been the climate. But I like playing in the toughest league in the world." "You have to be mentally and physically prepared because there are so many games," he said. "We’re in four competitions and you need to be prepared in order to play for the team. "You have to be careful, eat well and make sure you rest because the physicality of the game is the most noticeable thing. "What I’ve noticed about London is just how many people there are. When I went into the centre of the city, it was incredible how many people were there. "There are lots of tourists and people from other countries all over the city, which is what you notice. "I haven’t had the opportunity to travel all over the city yet because I don’t have much free time with so many matches over the last few months. "Any free time I do have, I’m quite tired and prefer to rest but once I have a bit more time my friends and family will come over to visit me and I can show them around."
