BREAKING: Arsenal’s deal to sign Denis Suarez collapses

Reports in Spain claim that Arsenal’s negotiations with Barcelona have broken down, so the Gunners have missed their chance of signing Denis Suarez this month. Arsenal had offered a €2 million (£1.7m) loan fee but could not agree on the inclusion of a clause which would require them to permanently sign the midfielder at the end of the season. However, Suarez has no interest in joining another club and is intent on linking back up with Unai Emery, who he played under at Sevilla. But Mundo Deportivo claim that Arsenal and Barca are ‘unlikely’ to reopen talks.
