REVEALED: The reason Lucas Torreira identifies as most important player

Accoring to former Gunner ace Adrian Clarke, Arsenal star Lucas Torreira is the most important player at the club after helping them transform their tactics. Uruguayan Lucas Torreira, who starred for his country at the World Cup arrived to the north London club in the summer. He quickly became one of the key players at Arsenal, who played in every match this season under Unai Emery. In his interview on the club’s website Adrian Clarke revealed his opinion on the player and reckoned that he played a major role in Gunners winning run. He said: “Arsenal have been crying out for a top-class specialist defensive midfielder for many seasons. They have found one in the shape of Lucas Torreira. “Unai Emery gently integrated the summer signing from Sampdoria, using him as a substitute in the first five matches of 2018/19. “After a positive impact in each of those second-half appearances, Torreira has become a fixture in the first team and already one of their most influential players. “Adding defensive focus, steadfast aggression, positional discipline and ball-winning qualities to the Arsenal midfield, Torreira provides excellent protection to the back four. “He has transformed the team’s tactical approach, making Arsenal harder to break down and giving them a more solid central platform that allows Granit Xhaka and others to focus on creativity. “Torreira can be relied upon not to stray too far away from his holding midfield position, always being in place to cover. “This gives team-mates the confidence that their forays forward will not leave gaps.”
