Arsenal today signed Suarez from Barcelona on loan until the end of the season. They have the option to secure the Spaniard permanently in the summer. Suarez is Arsenal’s first signing of the January transfer window - and may not be their last. But Arsenal fans don’t seem particularly enthusiastic about the deal. In fact, Chelsea supporters are more bothered about losing Willian to PSG today than Arsenal are about their new signing. Analysis of social media listening platform Pulsar shows interest in Suarez peaked at around 26,000 tweets on Tuesday - two days before his capture was announced. But Willian has attracted attention from Chelsea fans throughout the January transfer window - and the uncertainty over his future is maintaining the chatter. The Brazilian has been linked with a move to PSG, with his entourage supposedly in France waiting for the call to speak to the Ligue 1 side. Chelsea fans have been discussing Willian all month - especially when he scored in games against Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday. And there is still talk about him on deadline day as PSG eye a move. Surprisingly, Gunners fans seem to have ended their chatter around Suarez - maybe because they expected the deal to go through earlier in the week and so today's news is less of a surprise. Arsenal supporters are still hoping for one final signing to be made before the 11pm deadline. As for Chelsea, they are also said to be interested in Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella. The 21-year-old is available but at a price that may put the Blues off. Manchester United have been loosely linked on transfer deadline day but that deal is very unlikely at this stage.
