Brendan Rodgers warns Suarez over Arsenal move

Despite the ongoing interest of Arsenal for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, the Reds' manager Brendan Rodgers has warned the Uruguayan that moving to the Gunners could potentially prove a mistake for his career.

It appears that Suarez wants to speak to Arsenal and is eager to move to a club that offers first team football and in Europe's premier competition, the Champions League. That is something that Liverpool are currently unable to do.<br />

Rodgers said to the Guardian: "I know what we are trying to build and grow, so why would you swap Liverpool to go to Arsenal?<br />

"I am not sure that it adds up, to be honest. Arsenal has a wonderful history in its own right but Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Okay, we might not be in the Champions League and haven't been for a while now but our competitors have grown around us and we have to step up to the challenge now.<br />

"Would it be a mistake for Luis to leave? 100 percent. The team was built around Luis last season. I made some big calls to get the team to work in a way to suit his strengths and it is no coincidence he had a great season apart from the end bit. We would love to have him to continue the next phase.<br />

"It is difficult for Luis, I understand that. If a team wants you, it can be difficult."
