It will be stirring to see where Emery places the midfielder, Denis Suarez. Arsenal have been looking for a winger and Emery had played Suarez in the same position in Sevilla. “He was playing as a left or right winger for Sevilla when he was with me”, Emery said.
Suarez is versatile in positions while being tactical adaptable at the same time. The managers can deploy him in any vacant position but his best comes out while playing out wide. Naturally a central midfielder, Suarez can be menacing from the wings too.
It his highly likely that Suarez will be deployed as a winger by Emery. And even so, the most probable position for Suarez will be on the right side. Emery has always preferred a 4-2-3-1 formation, and in the start of the season it was Henrikh Mkhitariyan who used to play on the right side of attack. But the Armenian have been inconsistent throughout and with Denis Suarez coming in the squad, Emery can play the 25-year-old on that position.
The right-footed midfielder can also play as a deep-lying playmaker to increase the tempo of attack with excellent close control. His sudden acceleration burst with the ball makes him an interesting prospect even as a central-midfielder.
The three certain positions where Suarez could play,
as a right or left winger in 4-2-3-1 formation and as a central midfielder in 3-5-2 position, although Emery has already ruled out the latter; So this is What we have come up with:
This is how Arsenal could line-up with Suarez in the team:
(4-2-3-1): Leno; Lichtsteiner, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Torreira; Suarez, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette
