Luis Suarez takes Arsenal transfer saga vow of silence while on international duty
Striker is in Japan for a friendly and will not discuss club matters with the media while he's there PLUS Downing latest
Luis Suarez has put a gag on transfer talk while on Uruguay duty - but is desperate to force through a move.
Unhappy Liverpool striker Suarez reported for Uruguays friendly with Japan on Wednesday and did not want to talk, and has also asked team-mates and even the Uruguayan FA to stay silent on his transfer saga.
Arsenal target Suarez is desperate to force a move out of Anfield and the Gunners are likely to go back with a new bid this week.
Suarezs agent, Pere Guardiola, is also hoping to hold further talks with the Kop club on Friday to try to broker some agreement if nothing is concluded by then.
Guardiola believes Liverpool may yet be forced into selling, as Suarez is refusing to meet Reds manager Brendan Rodgers demands of both private and public apologies for recent comments.
The star's camp are now considering presenting legal documents to Liverpool which, they feel, prove they have a case.
It is understood they are also sounding out the overseas market to see if any major clubs outside the Premier League are interested in the 26-year-old, as Liverpool have made it clear they do not want to sell him to Arsenal.
Suarez has never hid his ambition of playing for Real Madrid but the Spanish club appear to be going all out for Gareth Bale.
* WEST HAM are expected to confirm the £5million signing of Stewart Downing on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old winger, who signed for Liverpool for a whopping £20m two years ago, has cut his losses after a troubled spell at Anfield.
Downing has agreed personal terms with the Hammers.
