Arsenal close to finalising agreement with Barcelona midfielder

Arsenal coach Unai Emery at the beginning of the January deadline stressed that Arsenal has no money for transfers other than any loan.

News of Surizi's borrowing to Arsenal started a week ago because after the transfer of Ajax midfielder to Barcelona, it became known that Suarez would not be able to appear in the base formation of Barcelona.

The Arsenal will reportedly pay 2.5m euros to Barcelona for borrowing Suarez by the end of the season.

The deal is expected to be finalised over the day. /Periscopi/
