Arsene Wenger
Arsene Wenger has gone all coy about his interest in unsettled Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
The Arsenal manager flew into the
Indonesian capital of Jakarta on Friday for the start of the club’s
pre-season tour of the Far East.
And he was immediately put on the spot over his £30m pursuit of Uruguayan international Suarez.
Hundreds of local reporters and
journalists turned up at the airport to welcome Arsenal to sweltering
Indonesia for the first time in 31 years.
And most of them wanted to know more information about Wenger’s big-money transfer targets.
But the Frenchman said, “Suarez? As you
all know, the transfer period demands secrets and confidentiality, so I
am not going to answer that question.”
Arsenal’s interest in Suarez has thrown a huge question mark over the Arsenal future of Gervinho.
The £12m Ivory Coast striker was
conspicuous by his absence when the squad touched down following their
15-hour flight from Luton.
But club sources insist his absence was
merely due to sickness, although they could not specify if he will join
the squad later into the 17-day trip.
