How Arsenal will line-up following the arrivals of Yannick Carrasco and Denis Suarez

The cash-strapped Gunners are desperate to add options to their squad, with Unai Emery's injury list piling up.

While most will wonder why the North Londoners aren't bringing in any defenders, the two attacking options will help their hunt for a Champions League spot.

Carrasco is a wide forward, talented, and was part of the Belgium side that reached the World Cup semi-finals.

He currently plays for Chinese side Dalian Yifang but is eager for a move back to Europe with his family unsettled in Asia.

The 25-year-old is likely to replace Alex Iwobi on the left-hand side and will add much-needed pace to Arsenal's attack.

Meanwhile, Suarez comes in after a frustrating spell at Barcelona where he struggled to make a real impact.


Emery knows him well from their time together at Sevilla, and all-but confirmed last night that a deal was close to being completed.

He is an attacking midfielder, a live-wire in the Isco mould, who can carry the ball, dribble and pick out a pass.

The 25-year-old is likely to replace Mesut Ozil in the team, who the Gunners are closer to axing on a game-by-game basis.

Arsenal will also have to deal with a number of injury issues over the coming months, especially in defence.

Hector Bellerin is out for the season with a knee problem, and Stephan Lichtsteiner and Ainsley Maitland-Niles will come in at right-back.

Emery will also hope for the quick return of captain Laurent Koscielny, who had surgery on his jaw to remove blood clots after being kicked by Romelu Lukaku.
