Robert Pires makes Arsenal transfer prediction

Robert Pires reckons Arsenal should make Denis Suarez’s loan switch permanently this summer. He told: "Arsenal are yet to see Suárez’s full potential and they should look to make the deal permanent as soon as possible. "He was fantastic at Villarreal and I have full faith he will be able to replicate the same form he showed whilst at the Spanish club, if given the chance. He fits the mould of the type of player that Arsenal look for with our style of football. He’s excellent at dribbling, has superb vision and his overall technique is top class. He’s spent a lot of time working with [Andres] Iniesta which has improved his game massively and they’re very similar in their styles of play. If Arsenal can sign him permanently, I think he can help Arsenal and Emery start to really secure continuous top-four positions again in the Premier League. He’s new to the Premier League and to the country so he’ll need time to settle in, but if he’s given the time then he’ll be an excellent signing for Arsenal." The Gunners have also been linked with PSG contract rebel Adrien Rabiot "Rabiot is a very good player and Arsenal should be trying their best to secure his signature before any other club does," he said. "Arsenal have the advantage of Emery having already worked with him at PSG, which should hopefully sway Rabiot to join Arsenal. He would be worth a big fee on the transfer market so the fact he’s free makes it a no brainer. If Emery can secure Rabiot then I think he’ll be able to fill the hole that will be left by Ramsey’s departure." Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another name on their radar Pires said: "He’s exactly the type of player that would suit the attacking full-back role that Arsenal like to play and he would definitely improve the team next season."
