There were high expectations from Arsenal coming into January until Unai Emery admitted ‘only loan deals were possible’. Although they managed bring in their primary transfer target in Denis Suarez, who was officially announced on the deadline day after loads of speculations dating back to December.
The expectations from Denis Suarez are already high from the Gooners as well as Unai Emery who highly trust him (knowing him back from his time at Sevilla).
His arrival ought to be a surprise with all the problems Arsenal have upwide albeit Unai Emery suggesting his involvement on the wings multiple times. Yes, Unai Emery has used Suarez on the flanks but the Spaniard has developed himself into a compactible attacking midfielder since then.
Its still to see whether he is being used on the flanks or centrally – however the former Barcelona midfielder certainly got the approval of Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
Ian Wright, speaking on his youtube channel, claims there is a plenty to like about Denis Suarez especially after Mesut Ozil not ‘highly’ being favored by Unai.
“What I like about Suarez is he’s a capable and very good player. Unai knows him very well from their time at Sevilla and they won the Europa League together which is a good thing.
“I know he’s not played a lot for Barcelona, but he’s a player that the manager wants. When a manager wants you, that kind of gives you a lot of confidence.
“It’s what he wants, so you’re hoping that him playing in midfield, and he can play on the wing, diminutive, good skills, you’re hoping that he can come and make a difference in respect of creativity for us.
“Because that’s what we need. Because at the moment you feel if you can keep [Alexandre] Lacazette or [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang quiet, then I’m not sure where our goals are coming from.”
Denis will face a side which he claimed to be HOME as a teenager and could make his Arsenal debut when they travel to Manchester City on Sunday, which Ian Wright believes to be a fixture where his former side could earn all the three points.
“If we can get a point at City, I think that will be brilliant. And hopefully shock people by ending in the top four at the end of the season.
“I’m going to go for a draw because that’s what I want.”
