Barcelona: Pundit discusses Denis Suarez leaving club
That is according to La Liga football expert Graham Hunter.
Suarez has played just 17 minutes in La Liga for Barcelona this season with manager Ernesto Valverde opting to select between Arturo Vidal and Arthur to partner Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic.
Reports in Italy claim Arsenal are the front-runners to sign Suarez and are closing in on an agreement.
And while Graham feels Suarez has the ability to rediscover his form, he believes he’s short of the quality required by Barcelona.
Hunter told Eleven Sports: “I cannot hide the fact that I think there is something in his make up which is lacking in order for him to be a top 14 player at Barcelona.
“And therefore having said ‘I’m staying, I’m staying, I’m going to show my worth’, my hat goes off to that.

“I’d love him to go to a place where they back him, play him and allow him to flourish.”
Meanwhile, Emery is keen for Aaron Ramsey to remain at the club until the end of the season amid speculation linking him with a move to Juventus.
Ramsey will leave Arsenal after a contract offer was withdrawn by the club.
Juventus lead the race for the Wales star and talks have taken place over a pre-agreement deal.

But Emery wants Ramsey to stay until the summer.
"I want him in the present with us," he said.
"At the end of the season is the moment he can go to one team or another team.
"I want his focus every day with us on training and thinking for the next match.”
