Ernesto Valverde Confirms Barcelona Midfielder Denis Suarez Is 'on the Verge' of Arsenal Loan Move

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has confirmed that Denis Suarez's move to Arsenal should be completed soon.

A proposed loan move for the 25-year-old to the Emirates Stadium had appeared to be all but dead earlier in the window, after the two parties failed to agree terms for the midfielder. However, earlier on Tuesday reports revealed that the deal is back on and expected to be completed imminently.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Suarez will first sign a contract extension at Camp Nou, before moving on loan to Arsenal until the end of the current campaign.
