Arsenal left it late in the January transfer window, finally sealing a loan deal for Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez on deadline day.
The move for the 25-year-old threatened to break down at a point as the La Liga giants insisted on including a clause to buy in the contract, but the Gunners refused, and they now have the option to choose not to sign the midfielder permanently if he doesn’t impress.
Manager Unai Emery and Suarez once worked together at Sevilla, winning a Europa League, and the Spaniards will hope their reunion yields something again at Arsenal.
