However, it appears he has thoroughly failed to impress manager Unai Emery, and as a consequence he has made only six appearances in an Arsenal shirt; all by coming in off the bench.

Now he has suffered a groin injury, and it remains to be seen if he’ll play again this season.  .......Read more here.....

Apparently, the Catalan giants are measuring their options and have decided to pursue signings in the form of a striker and a left-back; one to relieve the amount of game-time for former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, once linked with Arsenal himself and the other to provide cover in a similar way for Jordi Alba.  .......Read more here.....

The January transfer window has officially closed for another year, and while that’s been the case for a few days, there’s a reason why we’re bringing this up now. The reason? Because Arsenal fans can’t seem to stop talking about it. While the club may have secured the signing of Denis Suarez from Barcelona, you’d think that the Gunners hadn’t made any significant moves whatsoever based on how the fans have been talking.  .......Read more here.....

As we all know today is transfer deadline day. There is sure to be major movement around the country and Europe on the transfer front.
