Liverpool striker Luis Suarez admits he is flattered by interest from Arsenal.

The Gunners lodged a £30 million bid for his services which was rejected by the Reds.

But Suarez has claimed that he hopes to play in the Champions League again as soon as possible, something Liverpool cannot currently provide.

Speaking to a Uruguayan radio station, Suarez said: “It's good to know that I am still valued by teams like Arsenal. Friends call me up to ask if I am moving to Chelsea, to which I laugh.”

But he also went on to say that he would be returning to Liverpool in less than two weeks for pre-season training after extended leave due to his involvment in the Confederations Cup.
