Mikel Arteta quickly removed dressing room “madness” ex-Arsenal star identified

Ex-Arsenal star Lucas Torreira once dubbed the Gunners dressing room as 'madness', though Mikel Arteta has made sure that is no longer the case nowadays.

Torreira was brought to the Emirates in 2018 by then-boss Unai Emery, but after a bright start to life in North London, the Uruguay international's form declined amid reports of home-sickness and a desire to leave the Emirates. After loan spells away at Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina, Torreira's permanent exit was confirmed last summer as he joined Galatasaray on a permanent basis.

Shortly before his departure, Torreira reflected on his time with the Gunners in an open letter published in Italian news outlet Cronache Di Spogliatoio. In the letter, he discussed how it felt to be sharing a dressing room with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
