Lucas torreira officially signs for arsenal

A great signing for the Gunners!

Lucas Torreira officially joined Arsenal on July 11, 2018, from Sampdoria for a reported fee of £22 million. The Uruguayan midfielder signed a five-year contract with the club.

Torreira was a key player for Sampdoria in Serie A, known for his tenacious tackling, vision, and ability to control the tempo of the game. He was also a regular for the Uruguayan national team, earning 12 caps and scoring one goal.

At Arsenal, Torreira quickly established himself as a fan favorite, known for his tireless work rate, clever positioning, and ability to break up opposition attacks. He formed a strong partnership with Granit Xhaka in midfield, helping the team to improve their defensive solidity and control the game.

Torreira's time at Arsenal was marked by some memorable moments, including a stunning goal against Fulham in the Premier League and a crucial assist in the Europa League quarterfinals against Napoli.

In 2020, Torreira joined AS Roma on a permanent transfer, bringing an end to his two-year stint at Arsenal. Despite his departure, Torreira remains a beloved figure among the Arsenal faithful, and his signing is still remembered as one of the highlights of Unai Emery's tenure as manager.
