Arsenal close to signing Barcelona youngster

According to reports, Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez is on the brink on moving to Arsenal on a transfer fee of £14 million.

Suarez has made only 6 appearances for Barcelona under Ernesto Valverde this season, scoring two goals in a Copa del Ray match against Cultural Leonesa.

Arsenal are on the brink of selling Aaron Ramsey to Juventus and Suarez is seen as a potential replacement for the Welshman.

Suarez played under Arsenal manager Unai Emery during his loan spell at Sevilla during 2014-15. The 24-year old had an impressive spell at Sevilla where he scored 6 goals in 47 appearances. Three of those goals came at the Europa League which Sevilla won.

Ramsey’s current contract at Arsenal expires at the end of the season and the Gunners are eager to keep him till the end of the season. Juventus however, want to buy the Welsh midfielder this month.

Suarez is struggling to get any playing time at Barcelona and a move to Arsenal may not guarantee him much playing time either. However, he could get more game time at Arsenal than he used to get at Barca.

Arsenal aren’t the only club interested in signing Suarez. Roma and AC Milan have also shown interest in the 24-year old.
