Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has paid tribute to his club's fans for motivating him when he steps out onto the field.

The 25-year-old, who has been linked with a move away from Anfield, extended his current contract with the club until 2018 and has frequently quashed reports about leaving the Merseysiders.

Despite the rumours regarding his future, the Uruguayan has told the Reds fans to continue supporting the club the way they do.

"It's something I'm used to now but somehow it continues to surprise me," Suarez told Marca.

"When I hear [the Liverpool anthem] on the pitch or even in the dressing room it still gives me goosebumps. It is incredible and even more so in the stadium when the people become emotional and show their passion.

"The world stops and everyone sings with their scarves up and it's such a feeling and such a motivation to play for this club. I'm very happy here and my family love the life here too. I want to enjoy being at this club where I, like all the kids, dreamed of playing and now I'm fulfilling that dream."

Suarez joined the club in January 2011.
