Phil McNulty's analysis
"Arsenal's approach for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is a sign of ambition but in reality is doomed to failure.
"Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is a huge admirer of Suarez's wonderful attacking talent but too many obstacles make an actual deal look impossible.
"Liverpool will know only too well how it would be greeted by supporters if they sold their world-class striker to Arsenal and Suarez himself has publicly claimed his discontent comes from what he perceives - somewhat fancifully - as his harsh treatment by the English media.
"This surely rules out a move within the Premier League.
"Arsenal's interest in Suarez may reach the ears of those at Real Madrid - the striker's most likely next destination if he leaves Anfield - and remind them they are willing to pursue other targets as they try to get their own long-drawn out deal to prise Gonzalo Higuain away from the Bernabeu over the line."
