According to Express, Emery said, "It's not a change for him. [​Ozil]. Suarez comes here because we have a lot of problems on the wing. We do not have players to play right or left – that's the reason.

"[Suarez] can play right, play left, inside as a player at 10, and I will use it in all positions of the offensive third.

"He played with us in Seville as a left winger, in Villarreal as a right winger and in Barcelona, ​​he plays both inside and out. The possibility and the capacity are all different.

"He has character, a great character and he has the quality to play here. He knows the language – he speaks English, which is important to us.

"Second, he played in Manchester City with the youth teams. He has extensive experience in Spain, in Seville, Villarreal, where he played in the semifinal against Liverpool in the Europa League.

"After, he played with Barcelona, ​​not often in the first XI, but he helped them and played in the Champions League, in a large team with important players.I think for him, it's easy to 39; adapt. "

Emery does not rule out a potential start for the 25-year-old Spaniard when his team travels to Etihad on Sunday: "I will decide the team tomorrow but if Denis starts, I trust him. "

Arsenal – who is currently fourth on goal difference – knows that a result today would greatly help consolidate his place in the Champions League next season.

"In another moment, in another match, they could have won against Newcastle. They play at home and it will be very difficult for us.

"But we are eager to play, to show that we can [win] and want [to win]. I think that in Sunday's game, each player will have a great ambition to show his best performance and his best quality against them. "
