Luis Suarez claims that he would only ever turn out for Liverpool if he were to make a Premier League comeback later in his career.

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has claimed that he would only ever play for Liverpool if he were to return to the Premier League.

The Uruguayan striker, who joined Barca from Anfield for around £75m last summer, was part of Steven Gerrard's All-Star team as they played out a 2-2 draw with Jamie Carragher's side in a charity friendly match on Sunday.

Speaking after the game, the Barca forward ruled out joining another English side if he were to make a comeback later in his career.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "You never know in football what the future holds but if I ever play in England again I will play for the Liverpool team and not another team.

"It's great to come back to Anfield. Not just for the old players coming back but those who play now and for the supporters, for Stevie and the foundation - it was a special game.

"I've missed the fans. The atmosphere is unbelievable, it's amazing. Everyone who's played for Liverpool knows how important the supporters are. They know they are in my heart."

Gerrard scored twice from the penalty spot to earn the draw after goals from Mario Balotelli and Didier Drogba had put Carragher's men 2-0 up in the first half at Anfield.
