Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira admits the club's Spanish speakers have helped him settle so quickly.

Torreira has been a revelation since his summer arrival from Sampdoria.

He said, "I'm so proud to be part of such an important team.

“It hasn't been easy though: there's the language and the issue of communicating. I'm lucky because the Coach is Spanish and the coaching staff are too, so that makes things easier for me because they can explain things in Spanish to me.

“It's also not been easy to adapt to the football here: the intensity, the tempo and quality of games.

“At Sampdoria I had been used to playing in Serie A and Coppa Italia, whereas now I'm involved in four competitions here as well as the national team."
