Arsenal will reportedly continue talks with Barcelona tomorrow over a deal for midfielder Denis Suarez.
The 25-year-old looks set to leave the Nou Camp this month after growing frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities, making just six appearances this season.
Arsenal are said to be interested in his services and are believed to be in discussions with Barca over a £20million deal for the Spaniard.
However, reports in Italy now suggest that Unai Emery is pushing for a loan deal that would include an option to buy at the end of the season rather than a permanent move after the Spaniard revealed he has no money to splash this month on new recruits.
Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport say Arsenal and Barcelona will continue discussions over the proposed transfer tomorrow.

Suarez has played under Emery while on loan at Sevilla and would be granted more playing time at the Emirates should the deal materialise.
