The midfielder, who has previously played for Manchester City's youth sides, joined Barcelona from Villarreal in 2016. Having found first team opportunities limited under Ernesto Valverde this season, he is said to be keen to join Arsenal so that he can play under Unai Emery, his former coach at Sevilla, once again.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic this month, a deal that now seems unlikely given Suarez's imminent arrival and the amount of time left to conclude a transfer before the close of the transfer window.
In terms of departures, it's also been claimed that Arsenal are open to allowing Mesut Ozil to leave the club before the deadline. The German international's contract, signed only a year ago, sees him pocket £350,000-a-week.Explore more on these topics:
