Denis Suarez

English Premier League side, Arsenal have signed Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez on loan until the end of the season.

The La Liga champions have extended the 25-year-old’s contract until June 2021, although the Gunners have a purchase option in the summer.

Spaniard Suarez has played 71 times for Barcelona since joining in 2013 but has only featured eight times this season.

He previously played under Gunners manager Unai Emery at Sevilla, when he was at the club on loan.

Emery had earlier shared on why Suarez is a good signing for Arsenal, as he sees him as a great option to handle the wing problem of the team.

“We need wingers and Suárez, who I know, has this quality,” Emery told reporters.

“The physical side of the English game? I do not know how he will cope. It is a challenge for him, and also it will be a challenge for him to help us.”

The 25-year-old has only played 17 minutes of La Liga action this season and is mainly deployed in the Copa del Rey.

Arsenal travel to Manchester City in their next game in the Premier League.
