Arsenal: Fans beg Unai Emery to start Lucas Torreira after this video emerges
Arsenal fans were calling for manager Unai Emery to start Lucas Torreira after a video of him striking a free-kick while on international duty with Uruguay emerged.
Is Unai Emery the right man for Arsenal?
Yes
No
In the video, the diminutive midfielder is seen sending a set-piece into the top right-hand corner beyond the reach of the ‘keeper (via Arsenal’s official Twitter account).
Torreira has endured a frustrating season at the Emirates Stadium this campaign, staring just two of their eight Premier League games (via Transfermarkt).
The season follows reports the 24-year-old wanted to leave the club in the summer transfer window, with famed journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reporting Torreira was targeting a move back to Italy.
The Uruguay international came out and swept aside rumours over a potential departure, claiming he was happy to be a part of Arsenal (via Arseblog).
After watching him score a free-kick in training, fans took to Twitter to beg Emery to start Torreira.
Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
