One of Emery's most notable recruits, Lucas Torreira, has kept fans waiting to see what he can offer. However, the former Sampdoria midfielder, who represented Uruguay at this summer's FIFA World Cup in Russia, underwent training for the first time at his new club on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old quickly caught the eye of club legend Ian Wright, who took to Twitter to express his excitement, per Thomas Bristow of the Daily Mirror. Torreira will be tasked with providing the destructive qualities missing from the base of Arsenal's midfield for too long.
The desire to get him up to speed could see the youngster handed a start by Emery.
Guendouzi won't break up play, but the 19-year-old has already proved he can dictate it. The player acquired from FC Lorient was heralded as the "revelation of the tour" of Malaysia by ESPN FC's Tom Adams, who also lauded the Frenchman's "ambitious passing."
One more Arsenal youngster building a solid reputation this summer is Emile Smith Rowe. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder inked his first professional contract with the Gunners on Tuesday:
Smith Rowe needs to keep making his mark at a position brimming with quality. Emery can also call on Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to create and score goals from the tip of midfield.
However, Aaron Ramsey's fitness will need to be checked after he was unable to feature in the International Champions Cup meeting with Chelsea on Wednesday:
Lazio's own midfield is bossed by Milinkovic-Savic, a box-to-box runner who combines energy with vision and technique. Those attributes are why the 23-year-old remains a target for Manchester United and Real Madrid.
For the moment, manager Simone Inzaghi needs Milinkovic-Savic to be the chief source of supply to Immobile. The Italy international scored goals for fun last season, finding the net 41 times in all competitions.
Immobile's pace and sense for how to time his runs will be a test of the refreshed defence Emery is attempting to construct. However, the striker may miss the creative influence of Felipe Anderson, who joined West Ham United this summer.

The Gunners have looked enthused by the infusion of young talent they've experienced this pre-season. Emery has more quality players at his disposal than Inzaghi, so Arsenal should take the win.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Lazio
