# Torreira explains how Emery has helped him settle

Arsenal summer signing Lucas Torreira has explained how Unai Emery has helped him settle at the club.

The Uruguay international joined the Gunners from Sampdoria in the summer for £26.4million, and has quickly established himself as a key player in Emery’s squad.

Since his arrival, the London outfit have gone on a 13-game unbeaten run, with Torreira playing in each of those games.

And the 22-year old midfielder has credited the former Paris Saint-Germain manager for helping him adapt to life in the Premier League.

When talking about Emery, as quoted by [Mirror Sport](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/lucas-torreira-credits-new-boss-13525825), Torreira said:

> The manager has spoken to me a lot and made sure I understand everything.
>
> It’s important that he is able to explain everything to me in Spanish because it can be quite complicated when he’s explaining the principles of the team.
>
> He wants to make sure the whole team understands the points he is making the best they can.
>
> As time goes on I am going to get to grips better with all the tactical aspects of how Arsenal play.
>
> Last year I got used to Sampdoria’s style of play, where we had three players across the midfield, and I’m now adapting to Arsenal’s and there just being two of us, playing alongside Granit (Xhaka).
>
> There are many things I can improve on but that will come with time.
>
> We are going to have a much better understanding, we’ll only improve and when things are going well, the team will become even better.
