Denis Suarez
Barcelona midfielder, Denis Suarez is joining Arsenal on loan to the end of the Premier League season with an option to buy, reports Reuters.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery worked with the 25-year-old Spaniard, who has made few appearances for Barcelona this season, during a previous loan spell at Sevilla.
Barcelona said they had also extended Suarez’s contract by one year and until June 30, 2021.
Arsenal are fifth in the Premier League, level on points with Chelsea, who have a game in hand and two clear of Manchester United in a tight battle for a Champions League slot.
“If we can sign one player to come and help us that is good for us,” Emery said after a 2-1 win victory over Cardiff on Tuesday. “We need wingers.”
Suarez has some prior experience of English football as he spent two seasons at Manchester City as a teenager, although his competitive appearances were fleeting.
Meanwhile, Mesut Ozil reportedly turned down a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Arsenal playmaker has fallen out of favour with boss Unai Emery – although he was named captain against Caridff on Tuesday. And according to reports in Germany, Ozil was targetted by PSG as a replacement for the injured Neymar.
The Brazil forward will be out for 10 weeks and miss both legs of his club’s Champions League last-16 clash with Manchester United .
Inter Milan have also been linked with a move for Ozil as a loan exchange for Ivan Perisic but the Croatian will remain with the Serie A club.

Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, Any claim of public interest must be taken with a healthy pinch of salt.  Until over 130 top lawyers and senior advocates offered to represent the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, at his trial for false declaration of assets this week, Senate President Bukola Saraki had the record for the largest contingent of senior lawyers in a court case. Saraki lined up over 90 lawyers, including senior advocates, for a case that a pair of law interns might have got him off the hook given the theatrics by the bench and the shambolic performance by the prosecution.
