Arsene Wenger Reveals Hidden Truth About Luis Suarez Failed Arsenal Transfer

Arsene Wenger Reveals Hidden Truth About Luis Suarez Failed Arsenal Transfer
Luis Suarez
Arsene Wenger has revealed that Luis Suarez almost joined Arsenal in 2013, barring a misinformation about his release clause.
Luis Suarez
The former Reds striker was in an electric form at Anfield but started employing several antics sparking transfer speculation over his future at the club.
The Gunners also tried to sign Luis Suarez in a rather weird attempt tabling a £40,000,001 for him, which was rejected by Liverpool, despite the North Londoners meeting his reported £40m release clause.
However, the 30-year-old joined Barcelona in 2014 for reported £75m fee and became a fan favourite at the Camp Nou due to his impressive performances alongside Lionel Messi and Brazilian star Neymar Jr.
Arsene Wenger has now come out to lift the lid on the failed attempt to lure Suarez to the Emirates in 2013, he told beIN Sports: ‘He was very close (to signing for Arsenal),
‘We had an agreement with the player. We had been wrongly advised that he had a clause, with a minimal clause, but we had an agreement with the player. You can ask him
‘I’m convinced he wanted to join us and then they sold him. They kept him one more year, improved his contract and promised to sell him the year later to a club abroad.’

U-20 Women’s W/Cup: Dedevbo Tips Falconets To Bounce Back


Falconets Coach, Peter Dedevbo, is confident that his girls will bounce back from their shambolic 6-0 defeat to Japan, to pick maximum points from the remaining two matches in the ongoing FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.


The Delta Queens gaffer charges the players to put behind them the horrific display in their first game and focus on the challenge Canada and Spain will offer.

"We are down but not out, and this is the time for us to fight till the end of the competition. It would be fool–hardy for us to start feeling sorry for ourselves because it will affect our focus for the remaining games in the tournament," Dedevbo states.


"I must acknowledge the fact that the Japanese side was good, even though I didn't envisage the goal margin. The outcome means that we will return to the trenches and re-strategize."

Meanwhile, Falconets defender, Glory Ogbonna, is confident that the the team will fight on and revive their FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup trophy hopes, as well as redeem Nigeria's image in Papua New Guinea.

"Collectively, as a team, we have accepted the fact that we started badly against Japan, but it doesn't mean that we have given up because all hope is not lost," she says.

"I believe that the reason for Sunday's defeat was a clarion call for us as a team to wake up to the harsh realities on ground. If we had won or drawn that game, apparently, the whole team would feel that we have arrived.


"Canada is a must-win for us and it is not negotiable. We have learnt our lessons in a bitter and humiliating way. I want to promise all Nigerians that we must redeem our image and march on in this tournament.”

Nigeria will face Canada in their second Group B match on Wednesday at the Bava Park Stadium in Port Moresby. Both countries are at the bottom of the table with no point.
