Arsenal are hoping to complete a deal for Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez, the Observer reports.

The 25-year-old has struggled for first-team action at the Camp Nou and has decided he needs to leave the club in order to get more playing time.

The Spaniard has played just 41 minutes across four substitute appearances since August and is keen for a move abroad.

AC Milan and Roma have also expressed an interest in the Galicia native, but the Gunners appear to have won the race.
