What To Expect From Denis Suarez at Arsenal
February 1, 2019
Barcelona announced in a statement on Wednesday evening that Denis Suarez has joined Arsenal on a loan deal. He has also agreed on a new contract with Barcelona.
The new contract he signed was made to protect his market value in case a permanent deal to Arsenal does not work out. His new contract is expiring in June 2021.
A few gunners supporters have lauded the signing of the young Spanish forward, while some have mixed feelings. Suarez had previously worked with Gunners manager Unai Emery when he was at Sevilla on loan. What can Denis Suarez bring to this Arsenal squad who are chasing a top-four finish in the English Premier League?
The qualities Suarez will bring to Arsenal are numerous, and he has shown them for Barcelona, Sevilla, and Villarreal during his time at Spain.
Suarez is a very technical player. He is strong, and he uses his bodily strength very well.
He has excellent dribbling skills, and his passing abilities are very good. Denis possesses a great vision on the pitch. With the ball at his feet, he knows how to regulate the game; he also knows how to speed it up and how to slow it down.
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has even said that the former Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez will help to solve Arsenal’s shortage of wingers, and natural dribblers. Currently, only Alex Iwobi is the only natural dribbler at the gunners.
He is a right-footed player but is equally good in his left too. When he played at FC Barcelona, he featured on the left side of the attack and regularly cut inside and feeds the strikers with his pin-point passing and cutbacks.
Another thing to expect from Denis Suarez at Arsenal is his versatility. Suarez can also play in a central midfield position. This will be very useful for Arsenal when Aaron Ramsey leaves for Juventus in June.
