Arsene Wenger has made an enquiry about Luis Suarez - but Arsenal insist no formal bid has been made.

Arsenal boss Wenger is a huge admirer of Suarez and would be very interested but it is understood that an enquiry was immediately rebuffed by Liverpool.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has insisted publicly that Suarez is not for sale despite interest from Real Madrid and now Arsenal.

Uruguayan Suarez has also indicated that he would not move to another Premier League club while Liverpool remain adamant that they will not sell at any price.

It has been reported that Arsenal have made a £30m bid but the initial approach was given no encouragement by Liverpool.

It would be an incredible deal for Arsenal given Suarez's bad boy reputation and that he was banned at the end of the season for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.

But on the pitch, Suarez is one of the best players in the world and that is what has attracted Real Madrid.

Arsenal are still very close to doing a deal for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain and, as revealed by Mirror Sport last month, personal terms have been agreed after the Spanish club gave Wenger permission to speak to the Argentinian striker.

The Higuain deal is not linked to Suarez but it may up the ante on getting the deal agreed with Real Madrid.
