Toure: Suarez should stay at Liverpool

Liverpool’s new signing Kolo Toure believes that Luis Suarez should stay at Anfield.

The controversial Uruguay striker has been strongly linked with a move away from the club in the transfer window, having been vocal in his desire to depart since the end of the 2012-13 campaign.

The 26-year-old was reportedly the subject of an unsuccessful £30million bid from Arsenal earlier this week, with Real Madrid also thought to be keen on taking him to La Liga.

However, Toure – who joined Liverpool earlier this month on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract with Manchester City – has warned his new team-mate away from a potential switch.

“If he stays here we can have more chances to win trophies,” Toure said.

“This club is definitely prepared – the organisation, the mentality of players and staff.

“This is a top, professional club. It is amazing.

“He (Suarez) is a great player, a fantastic player. But it is up to the club to decide what they think will be best for everybody.”
