The Gunners boss has refused to rule out a move for
the Liverpool striker, with Goal exclusively revealing
the club are preparing to lodge an improved £35
million bid
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has refused to answer
questions on the club's interest in Liverpool striker Luis
Suarez.
The Gunners contacted Liverpool last week regarding the
striker's availability before Goal exclusively revealed that the
north London outfit are preparing to lodge a £35 million bid.
However, when quizzed about the controversial Uruguay
international during a press conference as part of Arsenal's Asia
tour, Wenger refused to comment on the situation.
"Suarez? As you know the transfer period demands secrets and
confidentiality, so I can't answer the question," the
Frenchman told reporters.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insisted on Friday that he does
not want to sell Suarez and will fight to keep him at Anfield
this summer.
Rodgers revealed he is in "constant communication" with the
26-year-old, who is on holiday after the Confederations Cup,
and insisted Suarez is committed to the Merseyside club.
"He's got three years left on his contract. We don't want to
sell him. We think we can put up a real fight next season," he
told talkSPORT.
"He's a real competitor, he's a winner, he wants Liverpool to
do well, he wants to be working at the real high level."
Suarez, who scored 30 goals in all competitions last season,
seems determined to leave the club though, and even
admitted he was flattered by the Gunners' interest.
