L.Suarez: Gerrard convinced me to stay in the ranks of "Liverpool" © EuroFootball.com

"Liverpool" team's attacking leader Luis Suarez revealed that team captain Steven Gerrard contributed the most to the Uruguayan's decision to stay in the "Reds" team. The striker, who was linked with "Arsenal" and "Real" clubs in the summer, signed a new contract with Brendan Rodgers' team in December. "Gerrard played a crucial role in convincing me to stay at Liverpool. He didn't talk to me through the press, but personally," said 26-year-old L. Suarez. "At those moments, I forgot that he is one of the most famous footballers in the world. He was the humble Gerrard who openly talked with me for hours." "He said that I am the best striker he has ever played with. It is very pleasant to know, considering the players who have worn the Liverpool shirt. I will never forget those words," said the Uruguayan. This season, L. Suarez is the top scorer in the "Premier" league with 23 goals to his name.
