Luis Suarez will stay at Liverpool this summer.
The Uruguayan had supposedly been agonisingly close to a move from Liverpool to the Gunners, with bids ranging from £40,000,000 to…. £40,000,001 failing as Brendan Rodgers hung on to his man.
Opportunity for a big signing!....
Suarez has had a turbulent time at Liverpool, serving bans for racial abuse and biting. This summer he looked set to leave Anfield after he publically announced his intent at a transfer, and Arsenal were among the only sides to pounce.
Suarez had flirted with Real Madrid in an attempt to catch their eye, but funds are seemingly short with world record bids for Gareth Bale being readied.
The Premier League’s 2nd top goalscorer last season apparently spoke personally with Martin Charquero of GolTV Latin American and told him he would be staying.
“Luis Suarez confirms to me he will not leave Liverpool. The support of the fans has influenced his decision.” Charquero tweeted.
"Suarez see it as likely that he'll sign a renewal (extension) to the contract that binds him to Liverpool."
..Aaaand it’s gone.
The Gunners sole hope of a marquee signing looks to have gone amiss with David Moyes categorically ruling out any departure of Wayne Rooney, and Gonzalo Higuain already settled in Napoli blue.
As the departure list rises endlessly and Yaya Sanogo remains the sole import of the summer, pressure on Wenger to make numerous signings late on in the window rises – or face a fans backlash.
Suarez’s U-turn highlights yet another missed opportunity, as another £10million (£8million of that raised from Gervinho’s sale) would have brought the prolific Uruguay international to the Emirates.
Have faith.

WE are a selling club make money for the board and Feck the fans.
Such an impressive lineup you need to include a player that doesn't belong to you (Willian) in there.
Sad fact for Liverpool is Tottenham are likely to beat you for Willian, being the better team and Villas-Boas a far more attractive proposition for players to work for, compared to Brendan "Cliché" Rodgers.
Whether Suarez stays or goes, bar a minor miracle, i'd place whatever you like on Arsenal finishing above Liverpool yet again next season. You'll do well to finish 6th.
Keep smoking pal someone is gonna eat his words come end of nest season
Where, not we're.
Losers, not loosers.
Our, not are.
You're, not your.
No wonder there was confusion over the clause in Suarez's contract. If LFC employed people like you then it's clear where the problem lies.
Enjoy your battle for 7th place... I think you'll get it. WBA and Swansea don't look that strong to me.
Back to the drawing board! Obviously I'm not worried about Liverpool at all as they're a mid-table club. I don't see Kolo Toure and Aspas gaining them the 12 points they were behind us last season, they only gained six on us when we lost RVP and had the worst start to a season we've had in the Premier League era, and they don't have Suarez, who's their only good player, for the first 6 games
He won you 7th last year. Well done, thanks for participating. I'm sure the mid-table battle will be enthralling for you again next year.
and that is based on a south american twitter feed? totally reliable!
Enjoy mid table.
He's been nowhere near moving to Arsenal.
