Former Arsenal loanee Denis Suarez has joined Celta Vigo from Barcelona as summer sales continue at Camp Nou.

The winger, who spent the second half of last season in north London, has finally departed in a permanent deal after several spells away from the Catalan club on loan in recent seasons.

"FC Barcelona and Celta Vigo have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Denis Suarez," Barca said on their website on Sunday night. "The Galician team will pay FC Barcelona €12.9m euros plus €3.1m in add-ons.

And they added: "FC Barcelona would like to thank Denis Suárez for his commitment and dedication, and wishes him every success in the future."

Suarez started his career at Celta, but only appeared for the club's youth team before joining Manchester City in 2011.
