Ernesto Valverde has hinted Denis Suarez could leave Barcelona during the January transfer window. Valverde spoke amid growing rumours the versatile midfielder will join Arsenal on loan.
Valverde was also speaking in the wake of Barcelona securing a loan deal for Kevin-Prince Boateng from Serie A side Sassuolo. He spoke about what Boateng's arrival might mean for little-used squad players, per Chisanga Malata of the Daily Express.
Arsenal will welcome Valverde's admission about Suarez, especially since head coach Unai Emery remains "confident" about a deal. Suarez could sign as early as "the weekend," according to the Daily Mirror's Darren Lewis.
