Denis Suarez is targeting a successful loan spell at Arsenal and wants to win the Europa League after reuniting with Unai Emery.

The Barcelona playmaker joined the Gunners on deadline day after agreeing to a loan move until the end of the season.

Arsenal have the option to make the move permanent in the summer, with Suarez having signed a contract extension at the Nou Camp before making the move.

Former Manchester City youngster Suarez, 25, played under Arsenal head coach Emery while on loan at Sevilla in the 2014/15 season.

Together they claimed the Europa League as Suarez was an unused substitute in the 3-2 final win over Dnipro.

Now he wants similar success at the Emirates Stadium after admitting he was keen to join Arsenal ahead of the transfer deadline.

“We are very happy that Denis Suarez is joining us,” he said.

“He is a player we know well and I have worked with him at Sevilla. He brings us quality and options in many different attacking positions, so he’ll be able to help the team.”

Suarez came through the ranks at Celta Vigo before landing a move to Manchester City, although he was restricted to one League Cup appearance.

He was still highly regarded in Spain and Barcelona completed a deal to sign him in 2013 before his loan to Sevilla and a year-long stint at Villarreal saw him make his mark in the first team for the Catalan giants.

Meanwhile, Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe has joined RB Leipzig on loan until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old has made six senior appearances for the Gunners this season, scoring twice in the  Europa League and once in the League Cup.
