Torreira - It’s true, I really like Verratti
Ever since he burst on to the scene, Lucas Torreira has been compared to Marco Verratti - and our new midfielder is a big fan of the PSG midfielder.
The 22-year-old spoke to Arsenal Media about similarities, and also his ambitions for the future. This is what he said:
Which players in your position do you look up to? Is Marco Verratti an inspiration for you?
I try to look up to the best players and steal something from all of them. When I am on the pitch I try to play my way and make my contribution to the team. But it is true that I really like Verratti. I spent two years in his former club Pescara and supporters compared me to him. I went on checking his style and I liked it.
