Wenger back for Kop ace ARSENE Wenger has hinted he is ready to make another offer for Luis Suarez

Arsenal had a £30m bid for the wantaway Liverpool striker rejected last week.
They are expected to step up their efforts to prise the Uruguayan away from Anfield by returning with an increased offer.
And Wenger (right) did little to quash the speculation by sidestepping talk about his interest in the Reds’ talisman.

He said: “Suarez? As you know the transfer period demands secrets and confidentiality so I can’t answer the question.”
Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are also keen on Suarez along with the Gunners.
Madrid are the 26-year-old’s preferred destination.
And if they are forced to cave in and sell, the Reds would rather Suarez moved abroad.
But Suarez is now open to staying in England, having previously claimed he wants to leave.
Speaking to Talksport, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said: “Over the course of the last few months there has been a lot of speculation with Luis.
“But the fact is it remains the same – we value the player. He had a terrific season for us last year and showed his qualities.
“I’ve been in communication with him through texts and conversations on the phone and the situation is pretty much the same.
“He is a valued player. He is an absolute magician on the field.
“Luis is a real competitor, a real winner. He wants Liverpool to do well.
“But like every player, manager, and more importantly, every football club, they want to be working at the very highest level.
“He has got three years left on his contract, we don’t want to sell him and we hope everything will be fine for the summer.”
