Suarez puts 'gag' on 'transfer to Arsenal' talks while on Uruguay duty

Troubled Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has reportedly put a gag on his transfer talk while reporting for Uruguay's friendly with Japan on Wednesday.

Suarez even reportedly asked his teammates and the Uruguayan Football Association to stay silent on his transfer saga.

According to the Mirror, the Arsenal target is desperate to force a move out of Anfield and the Gunners are likely to go back with a new bid this week, adding that Suarez's agent is also hoping to hold further talks with the Kop club to try to broker some agreement if nothing is concluded by then.

Suarez's agent believes that Liverpool may yet be forced into selling as the player is refusing to meet manager Brendan Rodgers' demands of both private and public apologies for his recent comments, adding that they are also considering presenting legal documents to Liverpool.

The agent further said that the star's camp is also sounding out the overseas market to see if any major clubs outside the Premier League are interested in Suarez, as Liverpool have made it clear they do not want to sell him to Arsenal.
