Why is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger so keen to sign Luis Suarez?
Suffice to say 51 goals in 89 starts for Liverpool is the primary
reason. But it is his ability to produce the match-winning moments that
has Wenger willing to spend like he’s never spent before.Wenger knows he needs more than a striker, which is why he is so keen to revamp his side with Marouane Fellaini and Cesc Fabregas.
Fresh bid: Luis Suarez could yet leave Liverpool before the end of the season
The Everton midfielder would play a vital role behind the strikers. Both he and Fabregas would add to the goals tally while providing stardust.
Arsenal need to add experience while they wait for Wilshere and Theo Walcott to become the finished article. Wayne Rooney is an option if United refuse to sell him to Chelsea, and Uruguay striker Suarez also has the flexibility Wenger likes in his forward players.

Wenger likes having options and, in Suarez, he would have many. Yes, he comes with baggage after his disciplinary problems but, put simply, he wins you football matches… and, after eight seasons without a trophy, that is all Wenger should be concerned about.
