Wenger raises eyebrows with Suarez enquiry as Arsenal desperately look for attacking firepower

Arsenal have raised a few eyebrows after making an ambitious enquiry for Liverpool’s Luis Suarez.

Manager Arsene Wenger has been rebuffed in a similar enquiry for Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney and has a bid on the table for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.

Bookmakers stopped taking bets on a Suarez moving to Arsenal last week after a flood of activity.

However, Liverpool have yet to receive any bids and maintain Suarez will have to ask for a transfer if he wishes to leave.
They are expected to speak further with their 26-year-old player of the year this week. He has been quoted widely in Uruguayan and Spanish media about his need to leave England and Real Madrid are still considered the most likely to make a bid.
Chelsea were linked with a move last week in Spanish media but they are pursuing other targets.

A move within England is considered unlikely for Suarez, not withstanding the fact he has to serve the rest of his 10 game ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic, and Arsenal's on-going pursuit of Gonzalo Higuain suggests they believe the player would prefer a move to Spain.
Higuain has started pre-season training at Madrid and the club have demanded £27m for the Argentine from Arsenal so they can pay Real Sociedad for Asier Illaremendi.
