Arsenal are on the verge of making their first January transfer signing by closing in on Denis Suarez, it has been reported.
The Barcelona midfielder, 24, has been heavily linked with the club for some time but it appears a move is now coming to fruition.
Suarez is currently struggling for game time at the Nou Camp, having only featured in six appearances this season.
Unai Emery previously worked the midfielder at Sevilla, where he spent the 2014/15 season on loan.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio , Arsenal are leading the race to sign Suarez and are now set to pull the trigger.
