The Premier League side have been linked with both players, but the ex-right-back says they would be wrong to try and lure the Colombian midfielder
Arsenal must forget about signing the likes of James Rodriguez or Gelson Martins and make Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez their top priority in January, says former Gunners defender Lauren.
Alongside Liverpool and Tottenham, Arsenal are the latest Premier League side to have been credited with an interest in the Colombia international, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Real Madrid.
The 27-year-old is said to be one of Unai Emery's side's biggest targets for the current transfer window, but ex-right-back Lauren, who won two Premier League titles with the club, says they should look elsewhere to strengthen their midfield.
