Edinson Cavani has hailed his Uruguay team-mate Luis Suarez as being the best striker in England, and thinks the player is holding out for a move to Real Madrid.

According to Cavani, Arsenal are not Suarez's dream side, and he is waiting for the call from the Spanish giants.

Luis Suarez was subject to a bid from Arsenal this summer, but Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers remained firm in his assertions that his star striker would not be leaving the club.

"I am sure Liverpool fans are very happy Luis stayed - he will be a big player for them," Cavani told the Daily Mail.

"I think Arsenal was not Luis's dream move, maybe if it had been Real Madrid then it would have been a different outcome - but of course Madrid were concentrating on a different target this summer.

"It is his dream club - and a club he thinks is worth waiting for."

Cavani added that he wasn't surprised by Suarez's stellar return to Premier League football, because he is unrivalled by any other striker in the Premier League.

"It is no surprise to me at all that Luis has come back for Liverpool and is scoring goals right away.

"He is the most complete striker in England - and one of the most complete strikers in the world. Ability and confidence is no issue for him, he will score a lot of goals this season I am sure."

When Arsenal missed out on Suarez, they instead splashed their cash on Mesut Ozil, who has been in inspired form for the North London side.

Having spent £86million on Gareth Bale, Real Madrid could be reluctant to spend any more money this season, so a switch for Suarez could depend on certain players departing the Bernabeu.
