Luis Suarez could be on the brink of joining Arsenal, with speculation intensifying over the Liverpool striker’s future.

Suarez has made no secret of his desire to quit Anfield this summer and has been linked with a host of clubs including Chelsea, Real Madrid and the Gunners.

But according to South American journalist Martin Charquero, who is believed to be close to the Uruguayan international following a series of interviews, Suarez is on the verge of a dramatic move to the Emirates Stadium.

Charquero tonight posted on Twitter: ‘Luis Suarez is very close to Arsenal’.

The journalist’s report ties in with other speculation linking former Ajax striker Suarez with Arsene Wenger’s side, with Liverpool having already confirmed they rejected the Gunners’ initial offer of £30m.



And Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers this morning gave cagey responses to questions over the frontman’s transfer status.

It is anticipated Arsenal could spend up to £40m on bringing the 26-year-old, who still has six of his ten-match ban left to serve, to north London as Wenger looks to bolster his front-line ahead of the new campaign.
