Luis Suarez has revealed he went home crying after being talked into staying put at Liverpool in the summer of 2013.

But he’s revealed he was talked into staying put another season by legendary Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

"I wanted to go because they (Arsenal) played in the Champions League every year,” Suarez recalled to streamer Davoo Xeneize.



And Gerrard's claim would be proven right as the striker then went on to leave for Barcelona in a £65m deal in the summer of 2014.

But his previous flirtations with Arsenal the year before were not the only time Suarez pushed to leave Anfield, with the 38-year-old revealing he also came close to departing in the summer of 2012.

Juventus were his potential suitors on that occasion, but a conversation with newly-appointed Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers persuaded him to stay put.

"In 2012 I wanted to go to Juventus,” he said.

“But Brendan Rodgers convinced me to stay, with his ideas about football.”

Meanwhile, former West Ham United defender James Collins recently revealed how he was once motivated to ‘kick the s**t’ out of Suarez after seeing a banner paying tribute to the striker at Anfield in 2013.

The Hammers fought out a 0-0 draw, with Collins considering it one of the best performances of his career.

“Anfield, I think it was 2013.

“Why it stands out I think is Suarez was Suarez at the time, unplayable at points.

Every time he gets the ball I’m going to steam into him.’ Kick him, bring him down, whatever, so it makes him as uncomfortable as possible, rather than him dictating to me.

“So I literally kicked the s**t out of Suarez for 90 minutes, didn’t get sent off, didn’t even get a yellow.
