Rodgers insists Suarez better off at Liverpool

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes a more mature Luis Suarez no longer needs to cast admiring glances at the likes of Arsenal.

Suarez was so keen to take up the Gunners’ offer of an escape route in the summer after they bid £40,000,001 he accused the Reds of reneging on a deal which he claimed allowed him to leave for a side playing in Europe’s elite competition.

Liverpool owner John Henry was unequivocally opposed to selling to a rival and that stance appears to have been rewarded with the South American scoring six goals in four league matches since returning from suspension this season.
