Arsenal transfer news: Denis Suarez’s agent issues Barcelona demand in talks
DENIS SUAREZ’S agent has demanded Barcelona sell the midfielder to Arsenal.
That’s according to Gazetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira.
The Barcelona ace has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates this month.
However, Unai Emery has confirmed the Gunners can only sign players on loan due to a lack of funds.
Arsenal are hoping to sign Suarez on loan with an option to buy in the summer, however, Barca are demanding around £12m this month.

Denis Suarez wants Arsenal or to stay at Barcelona claims pundit
Emery has been vocal on Arsenal’s January transfer plans in recent weeks.
The Spaniard has been asked about the possibility of signing Suarez, with Emery claiming he’s a fan of the versatile 25-year-old.
He said: “If we have the possibility to sign some important players, we can do it.
“At left or right wing, perhaps one player can help us in this position.
“We will only sign players who give us quality.
“He was playing as a left or right winger for Sevilla when he was with me.”
Arsenal are back in action on Saturday evening against Chelsea in the Premier League (5:30pm kick off).
A win for the Gunners could send Emery’s men to within three points of the Blues in fourth.
