Anfield owner John W Henry has insisted the
Uruguayan will not be sold this summer,
although the Arsenal boss is hopeful a move
could still be completed
Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal will continue
their "amicable" pursuit of Luis Suarez despite
Liverpool's insistence that the striker will not
be sold this summer.
Liverpool owner John W Henry claimed on
Thursday that his side would not sanction the
Uruguay international's move to the Emirates
Stadium, regardless of the bid from the north
London club .
Wenger, who said on Wednesday that a move
for Suarez is on "standby", has reiterated that
the club will be honourable in their bid for the
26-year-old but claims a change of heart from
Liverpool could allow the deal to be
completed.
"There is nothing to add to what I said already
about the transfer of Suarez," Wenger told the
club's official website. "If it will be done, it
will be done in a respectful and amicable way
with Liverpool.
"I didn't read [Liverpool owner John W
Henry’s] statements but we'll be faithful to the
way we want to behave.
"To make a transfer happen, you need the
agreement of three parties - the buyer, the
seller and the player.
"We know what we want to do. The player, if I
look at the statements [does] as well. Liverpool
at the moment do not agree. If they change
their minds or not, I don't know. We'll respect
that.
"We are looking at possibilities to strengthen
our squad. Suarez is one of the targets. If he's
not for sale, he's not for sale. We have to
accept that.
"Every club has its own way of dealing with
things, we have our way and we respect all the
other clubs."
