Arsenal's Arsene Wenger 'dreams' about having Luis Suarez in his team

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger describes Liverpool striker Luis Suarez as an "angel" and admits that he 'dreams' of having the prolific star in his team.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been full of praise for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, describing the prolific frontman as an "angel".

The Gunners were in the market for the Uruguay international during the summer transfer window, but two bids, one said to be worth £40,000,001 were rebuffed by the Merseyside outfit.

Since then, Suarez has gone on to score 17 Premier League goals this season, two of which came in the Reds' 5-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane yesterday.

"I think that every defender in England hates playing against him," Wenger told Telefoot.

"He has a strong, provocative personality. From the information I gathered on him it appears that on a day-to-day level he is really easy to work with.

"Also that he's respectful, he loves training, he's an angel. He turns into a demon when he's on the pitch. We all dream about having players like that."

Suarez moved to the club from Ajax in January 2011.
