Denis Suarez has hit back at his critics following reports he has struggled to impress Unai Emery since his January move from Barcelona.
The 25-year-old has been restricted to just six substitute appearances amid reports he has failed to win over his new manager who is said to harbour doubts about his compatriot’s ability to withstand the physical demands of English football.
Emery, who coached Suarez during their time together at Sevilla, is reportedly set to reignite his interest in PSG’s Christopher Nkunku in the summer and send his only January recruit back to Barcelona, rather than make his move a permanent one at a cost of £18million.
Suarez has joined a clutch of youngsters and senior first team stars who aren’t representing their countries on a training camp to Dubai where is hopeful of belatedly launching his Arsenal career.
The former Villarreal midfielder caught the eye on Friday scoring a superb goal past goalkeeper Petr Cech, before taking to Twitter to voice his frustration at reports centering on his relationship with Emery.
He wrote: ‘Working hard, learning and improving. PS don’t talk about my workouts if you have no idea.’

Talking about his Arsenal ambitions earlier this month, Suarez said: ‘My aim is to be a success here, perform well and feel important.
‘I’d like to become an important player at the club. ‘I joined Aresnal to get a lot of playing time, to be an important player and feel important.
‘I’m determined to perform well and be a success at this great club.’
On Emery’s influence on his career, he added: ‘I think Unai made me a football player, when I joined [Sevilla] I was a prospect.
‘I was coming off the back of a great season in the second division with Barca B. But it was a big step up to the elite level. he really helped me.’
