Tomas Rosicky coy on Luis Suarez link to Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has refused to comment on the speculation linking his side with a move for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

The Gunners made a £42m bid for the Uruguayan earlier this week in order to force talks with the player, but the Reds desired asking price for Suarez is likely to deter them.

Suarez has proved a controversial figure since arriving in the Premier League, and while Rosicky refused to confirm or deny whether he would like to see him at the Emirates Stadium, he admitted that the 26-year-old is a top talent.

"I cannot comment but say that Luis Suarez is one fantastic player," Rosicky said on his Facebook page.

It is believed that Arsenal are willing to offer Suarez a five-year deal worth £150,000 a week to lure him to North London.
