Five minutes into the north London derby and Lucas Torreira had clattered Dele Alli. That challenge set the tone.Camera perspective cleverly showed Alli towering over his fellow midfielder, but in the end, it was Torreira who stood tallest.

4Lucas Torreira is the signing of the season and its not even close.— James Benge (@jamesbenge) December 2, 2018For years, Arsenal longed for a combative central midfielder. Patrick Vieira has been gone for 13 years, Gilberto Silva a decade.Torreira and Vieira could not be more different in terms of size and stature but their drive and determination is exactly the same, said Gunners legend Martin Keown.He recognises that to win titles, you need to squeeze every drop of tenacity and passion from the squad.

4Note to all @Arsenal fans: please don't clog up our match tweets today thanking us for @LTorreira34. We're going to set up a dedicated 'Thanks for #Torreira' email address where you can send us all your thank you messages. Watch this space…— Sampdoria English (@sampdoria_en) December 8, 2018Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno praised him following the match on Saturday: Hes incredible, hes a fighter, hes so important for our game, for the whole defence and he did another perfect game today.His former club Sampdoria also got in on the act and sent Arsenal a message on social media.“Note to all Arsenal fans: please don’t clog up our match tweets today thanking us for Lucas Torreira.” they said on their Twitter page.And thankful they should be, because at last their problem has been solved. If having to endure the likes of Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny to land someone of Torreiras calibre has been lengthy, than their patience has finally been rewarded. And here’s what some fans have been tweeting about the ‘signing of the season’.
Lucas Torreira is the closest type of player to Vieira weve ever had, the tenacity, the hunger, the endless running, the passion, the fight, hes a born winner and proves that every time he plays, best signing by a huge margins based on importance to a team— Ollie (@TidyTorreirav3) December 8, 2018
Torreira is the best CM since Vieira and Gilberto at Arsenal, wonderful player— Tom Hodgson (@Tom_Hodgson_94) December 2, 2018
Should just crown @LTorreira34 signing of the season now. No point delaying the inevitable #AFC— Andy Smith (@andrewdsmith9) December 8, 2018
Torreira is the kind of player we've craved since Patrick Vieira left.— On Me Head Son! (@Danielfloyd1981) December 8, 2018
And the fact that Lucas Torreira scores his first Arsenal goal against Spurs with a yellow-card celebration… is just everything all Arsenal fans had been waiting for in a long time VieiraieiraeirareirarreiraorreiraTorreira pic.twitter.com/m5GKCeVZNW— Supree (@LadyGooner8) December 3, 2018“If the fans are comparing me and my game to Patrick Vieira, that’s amazing,” Torreira told Sky Sports. “It makes me very proud but I need to grow a bit before I can be as tall as him!“But he’s an amazing player, I remember getting up in the mornings in Uruguay to watch him. I feel very happy and am looking to help the team.”
