Luis Suarez has shared his thoughts on Liverpool transfer target Julian Alvarez and former Reds striker Darwin Nunez, who has struggled since leaving Anfield for Al-Hilal(Image: Getty Images)Luis Suárez has revealed how Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard persuaded him to abandon a proposed switch to Arsenal - and has expressed confidence that former Reds forward Darwin Núñez can re-establish himself amongst the world's elite strikers.Suárez found himself excluded from the Reds' squad by then-manager Brendan Rodgers in 2013 following his insistence on securing a transfer to the Emirates, only to subsequently reconsider following Gerrard's counsel and go on to produce his finest campaign in a Liverpool shirt before departing for Barcelona the subsequent summer.Former Liverpool target Julián Álvarez finds himself in comparable circumstances, having voiced his ambition to transfer from Atlético Madrid to Barcelona during the current World Cup.And Suárez explained, via the Liverpool Echo.: "These are situations you force at a certain point. In 2013, I forced my way out because I wanted to go to Arsenal."I argued with the club because we weren't qualifying for the Champions League, and I felt I needed to take the next step."I remember the captain, Gerrard, grabbing me and saying 'Stay.

And he convinced me.Luis Suarez nearly left Liverpool for Arsenal before being convinced to stay(Image: Catherine Ivill/AMA/AMA/Corbis via Getty Images)"And in this case, the same thing could happen with Julian: Cholo (Atletico boss Diego Simeone) could grab him and say 'This year I want you to stay with us'."I was convinced by a Liverpool legend, the captain. I came to my senses, then I went out and apologised, and it ended up being my best season at the club."Even if you (tried to) force your way out, if people then go onto the pitch and see you give your all, work hard, and defend the club, they end up applauding you."Speaking to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Suárez named Erling Haaland and Harry Kane amongst his preferred strikers currently, alongside Núñez, who has endured a challenging period since departing Liverpool last summer for Al-Hilal.The Saudi Pro League side excluded him from their squad for the latter half of the domestic campaign, and he has found it difficult to find his rhythm during Uruguay's opening World Cup fixtures.Suárez commented on his fellow countryman: "The first thing he has to do is change his mentality, strengthen it, because for me he has spectacular qualities."He knows the decision he made leaving Liverpool, but I see him as a player who can be fully recovered.

If he reaches his best level, he's a striker I love. He's fast, he's strong, he has power.
