Luis Suarez as happy as ever at Liverpool, says Brendan Rodgers

Luis Suarez is as ‘happy as he has ever been’ at Liverpool according to the club’s boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Uruguayan striker was strongly linked with a move away from Anfield over the summer but, despite the best attempts to sign him by Arsenal, he remained on Merseyside.
And it appears Rodgers’ determination to keep him at the club is paying dividends, with Suarez having netted six goals in as many games for the Reds since returning from his 10-match ban.
‘Looking and speaking to him Luis is as happy as he has ever been,’ says Rodgers.
‘He recognises we have a real genuine chance this year of breaking in there [the top four] this year.
‘Last year was about transition and the second season was about improvement and he has seen that.

‘He had a difficult summer but he has come back and he is more mature and his performance level has been really high.
‘He sees a genuine chance for us to make that (top four). He is happy here.’
Rodgers also took the opportunity to reiterate Liverpool will not be willing to sell their top stars when the transfer window reopens in January, despite reports Real Madrid could be interested in a big-money move for Suarez.
‘From a club perspective, we made a stance last summer, not only for Luis but for every player,’ he added.
‘If we think it is time to sell a player, we will. If not we won’t.’
