Loan of Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez

Arsenal have hired Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez on loan until the end of the season.

The La Liga champions have extended their contract by 25 years until June 2021, although gunners have an option to buy in the summer.

Spaniard Suarez has played 71 times for Barcelona since joining in 2013, but has only played eight times this season.

Previously, he was loaned by Gunners manager Unai Emery to Seville.

As a teenager, Suarez spent two seasons in Manchester City, but he only made two first team appearances before being sold to Barcelona at age 19.

The Gunners remain in talks to sign a contract with the Croatian international. The Croatian international Ivan Perisic is one of the options considered. Belgian winger Yannick Carrasco of the Chinese club Dalian Yifang is also linked.

Despite a number of injuries, Arsenal should not strengthen their defense.

Captain Laurent Koscielny may well be back in time for Sunday's trip to Manchester City, while Sokratis Papastathopoulos – who, like Koscielny, was forced to leave Manchester United on Friday – should not be away for long.
