“Suarez can become Arsenal’s new Thierry Henry” – Forlan

Former Manchester United striker, Diego Forlan, has said that his compatriot Luis Suarez, is exactly what Arsenal need to become title contenders once again.

The Gunners have already had two bids turned down by Liverpool, but Forlan, 34, says Arsene Wenger must go the extra mile to get his man.

“Only Luis knows what his plans are but he would be a great signing for Arsenal,” Forlan said.

“Of course, Arsenal are a very strong team, but, for the last years, they have not been able to compete with Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea for the title.

“They have had very good players, but have maybe lacked that one special player who you need to win a league as strong as the Premier League.

“United have had Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie and City have had Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez. But Arsenal have struggled since Thierry Henry left.

“If they manage to sign Luis, then I think, with the players they already have, they would be serious title contenders again.”
