Arsenal legend Ian Wright says Arsenal lacked Lucas Torreira type of player during the last 4 season, mentioning Uruguay international’s massive impact this season.
Torreira has joined Gunners last summer from Serie A side Sampdoria for just £22 m, but has already become one of the best player of EPL this season.
"[Torreira is] the guy we have been looking for in the past three or four seasons,"Wright told BBC Sport (via
Mirror).
"Arsenal supporters wanted to know when are we going to sign a defensive midfielder. We have got the guy we needed.
"He was magnificent [against Tottenham]. The way he plays, he is everywhere on the pitch. He gets into positions where he can get into people."
Arsenal continue their unbeaten run. Unai Emery's side hasn't tasted a single defeat for 21 matches. Arsenal will face Qarabagh in Europa League on Thursday.
