Lucas Torreira: Emirates stadium a big attraction when Arsenal want you

Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira admits his Uruguay teammates have pumped him for information about life at Emirates stadium.

Torreira will be playing at the Emirates on Friday when his Uruguay side face Brazil in a friendly.

The 22-year-old has been telling his international team-mates about how much he loves his new home ground.

“When I heard the game against Brazil was going to be in 'our house' I was very happy because I know it well and it's a ground that fits the occasion," Torreira told Hayters.

“It's a fantastic stadium, an awesome ground with a big capacity.

“My team-mates were asking me 'how is the stadium?' and wanted me to tell them a little bit about what it's like because I play there every week.

“It will be a big match and lots of fans will be able to watch. So it should be fun and a great spectacle."
