'Arsenal lacked a player of that profile' - Suarez tips Partey to shine and says Torreira is 'ideal' for Simeone

Denis Suarez has tipped former team-mate Lucas Torreira to be a big hit with Atletico Madrid and says Thomas Partey will provide something Arsenal have been lacking under Mikel Arteta.

Suarez, who spent the second half of the 2018-19 season on loan with the Gunners from Barcelona, could come up against Torreira on Saturday when Celta Vigo host Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

Torreira completed his season-long loan switch to the Spanish capital on deadline day before immediately linking up with the Uruguay squad for their fixtures against Chile and Ecuador, but he has now returned to Madrid and could make his Atletico debut this weekend when Diego Simeone’s side travel to the Estadio de Balaidos.
