Denis Suarez has been talking about his admiration for some of the greats of Arsenal on the day his move from Barcelona was confirmed.

The player has been linked with a switch to the Emirates for some weeks and the loan move was finally rubber-stamped this morning.

Suarez has played for Unai Emery before and he ticks all the boxes for the Gunners who continue to be linked with Yannick Carrasco having given up on signing Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan.

With five years’ experience at Barcelona, Suarez arrives at the club with a reputation for being a technically gifted player but he unlikely to give Arsenal the kind of midfield strength they look to be lacking.

Suarez told the Arsenal website that his footballing idol is Andres Iniesta.

“He is the person I look up to most in the world of football is Iniesta,” he said. “He’s always been my idol, ever since I was young. As well as the fact that he plays in a similar position to me, I was also able to spend two years with him – I learned a lot from him. It’s always been a massive compliment to be compared to him.”

Suarez said he was a big admirer of Arsenal – especially during the days of Denis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.

“One thing no one knows about me is that when I was little and I used to watch the Premier League on the TV, Arsenal were a team that really inspired me,” he explained. “I used to watch Bergkamp and Henry – they’re both legends of the club and hopefully we can follow in their footsteps.”
