Lucas Torreira scores stunning chip in Arsenal training
Uruguay international Torreira secured his switch to Arsenal last month after returning from the World Cup in Russia.
“In Lucas Torreira, we have signed a young player who is a very bright talent in the game,” Gunners boss Unai Emery said of his new signing.
“A midfielder with great quality, I have enjoyed watching his performances for Sampdoria in the past two seasons, and we all saw him do very well for Uruguay in the World Cup.
“He is a young player already with good experience, but who wants to keep on growing.”
And the 22-year-old has been impressing Arsenal fans with his efforts in pre-season so far.
In a video posted on Arsenal’s social media channels, Torreira was seen scoring a brilliant chip during shooting practice at London Colney.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech could do little to stop the midfielder’s sumptuous finish as it thundered into the top corner.
And fans were quick to laud Torreira on Twitter.
“Lucas just sent petr into retirement already love that man,” one fan wrote.
Another said: “Can't wait to see @LTorreira34 in action.”
“He is the buy of the season,” a third fan said.
“Would you like some ketchup with that!!” one fan joked.
Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign on Sunday when they take on reigning champions Manchester City at the Emirates.
