The Gunners claimed to be open to loan deals with the view that it is finalized in the coming winter and same demand was made of the Barcelona man.

However, the latest report now claims both clubs will now meet on Monday to finalize negotiation so that the player can move in before the end of the winter window.

The Gunners are keen on the star player as they want him to replace departing Wales international Aaron Ramsey and England international Danny Welbeck who is injured and out of the season.

Should an agreement be reached between both parties, Denis Suarez would be announced as an Arsenal player before the end of the week.
