Arsenal may consider making a move to sign Riqui Puig on loan from Barcelona when the January transfer window opens, according to reports in England.
The 21-year-old has struggled for game time this season, with manager Ronald Koeman having given him limited opportunities to impress in the first team.
A departure next month on a temporary basis is expected and Gunners supporters are very much behind any planned attempt to snap up the Spaniard if he is available:

Puig made 33 appearances in all competitions for Barca last season, and he looked to have made his breakthrough into the Catalan club’s first team but Koeman’s arrival has dramatically changed things.
With Arsenal looking for a playmaker, and with Puig available next month, it does seem like a good match, but there are likely to be many other suitors which may make securing a loan deal hard to accomplish for the Gunners.
