Luis Suarez to Arsenal would surprise Michael Owen

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen says that he would be surprised if Luis Suarez decided to leave the Reds to join Arsenal.

Former Liverpool favourite Michael Owen has said that he would be surprised if Luis Suarez decided to leave the Reds to join Arsenal.

The Gunners have had a £40,000,001 bid rejected for the 26-year-old, who is believed to be keen to talk to the London club.

"Arsenal are a fabulous club and have got a great heritage, but Liverpool are as big - if not bigger," Owen told BBC Sport.

"I'd be very surprised if he were to move to Arsenal. Madrid or Barcelona would make more sense.

"I'm struggling to understand why he would leave and stay in England with Liverpool being the stature they are."

Suarez has scored 38 Premier League goals for Liverpool, 80 fewer than the total scored by Owen during his time at Anfield.
