Arsenal flop Denis Suarez still on track to win FIVE trophies this season after Barcelona return

The midfielder had played just 67 minutes in the Premier League before a groin injury ended his three-month spell at the Emirates

ARSENAL flop Denis Suarez can win FIVE trophies this season having already returned to Barcelona from his three-month nightmare spell in London.

Despite playing just 352 minutes for both Arsenal and Barca the Spanish midfielder is, in theory, on course to finish the most successful campaign of his career.

Denis Suarez can win five trophies this season despite barely featuring for Arsenal or Barcelona

Suarez's time at the Emirates - which featured only 67 minutes in the Premier League - is over because his groin injury has ruled him out of the remaining Gunners games.

But, having featured for both Barcelona and Arsenal, he can actually win as many as five trophies this season - just one fewer than he has managed over the course of his career.

Before securing his loan move to the Emirates in January, Suarez had played a part in the Catalans' La Liga triumph - well, 17 minutes of it.

He also contributed to Barca's Copa del Rey victory, making four appearances and scoring two goals, and the midfielder featured in the club's triumphant Supercopa de Espana win early on in the campaign.

Denis Suarez says he will not play for Arsenal again after just 67 minutes of Premier League football – costing the club £6.6m

Spaniard Suarez had played in two Champions League games for Ernesto Valverde's men, who are on the verge of sealing their spot in this year's final following their 3-0 victory over Liverpool.

Therefore if Messi and Co claim the title on June 1 at Wanda Metropolitano, that will be yet another addition to Suarez's trophy cabinet.

Meanwhile, Arsenal made a big step towards booking their place in their first Euro final since 2006 thanks to their 3-1 victory over Valencia in the Europa League.

Suarez did make a couple of short cameos for Unai Emery's men against BATE Borisov.

And should the Gunners win the competition, that will make a stunning five trophies to his name this season.

Arsenal splashed £3million to bring the midfielder to the Emirates in January.

Including his £55,000-a-week wages, he cost the Gunners a total of £6.6m despite not making a single start for the club - roughly £28,105 per minute.
