Arsenal agree deal for Barcelona's Denis Suarez

Arsenal calling

After weeks and weeks of speculation and negotiations, Arsenal have reportedly agreed on a deal to sign Barcelona star, Denis Suarez, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balagué (via The Daily Star).

Owing to Arsenal's reported lack of funds, the move is slated to be a loan deal with an option to be made permanent in the summer. Speaking about the matter, Balagué tweeted:

“On Denis Suarez, Arsenal agree to loan him for €2-3m and €20-25 in the summer for a permanent. It’s what Denis wants".

However, he also claimed that Barcelona could look to prolong completion of the deal as they intend to use Suarez in the upcoming quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey. Balagué said:

“But FCB not giving the green light yet (to use him in Cup?)”
