Arsenal close in on Denis Suarez loan signing?
Arsenal appear set to complete a loan move for Barcelona playmaker Denis Suarez ahead of the January transfer window deadline.
Gunners head coach Unai Emery worked with the Spaniard while at Sevilla, and is keen to bring the 25-year-old to the Emirates Stadium.
On Wednesday afternoon, Barcelona confirmed on their club website that Suarez had agreed a contract extension until 2021, and revealed he would now spend the rest of the current season at Arsenal, with an option to buy.
The La Liga leaders, though, later removed the article, with Arsenal yet to make any formal
Emery saw his side beat Cardiff 2-1 on Tuesday night, as they continued the fight to break back into the Premier League’s top four.
The Gunners are in the market for fresh talent, but Emery admitted it would only initially be for a loan deal.
