Unai Emery has been speaking to the press in Spain about Arsenal’s latest recruit – Denis Suarez.
The Barcelona man will become an Arsenal player for the rest of the season after arriving in London to complete his medical.
The loan deal will cost Arsenal a ‘minimum’ of €1m, the same amount that RB Leipzig are paying us for Emile Smith Rowe’s loan. Other outlets report that it could cost the club €2.5m.
Speaking to AS, Emery said, “We need wingers and Suárez, who I know, has this quality.
“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.”
Suarez played for Emery when the pair were at Sevilla and they were reunited at Villarreal when the player left Manchester City in 2013.
Should the loan go well Arsenal will be able to purchase the 25-year-old for £18m. If it doesn’t, they can send him back and move on to other targets.
