Arsenal set to bid £51m for Liverpool’s Luis Suarez after Reds freeze out striker [Star]

The Star have splashed their Thursday paper with a whopping great transfer update in the Luis Suarez saga.
According to David Woods, Arsenal are ready to launch a massive £51m bid for Liverpool’s centre-forward. The red-top continued:
Arsenal are set to smash the English transfer record by offering up to £51m for Luis Suarez.
Liverpool yesterday took a hardline approach with the Uruguay hitman, ordering him to train away from the first team.
They are furious at Suarez for his public outburst where he claimed the Anfield side had broken their word – and breached his contract – by not letting him go. 
Whilst the screaming headline grabs readers attentions, it doesn’t take long to realise that Arsenal have yet to actually make the rumoured £51m bid for the Liverpool striker.
Whether that bid does actually materialises remains to be seen, however the underlying assumption is that if the Gunners were to table such an offer that the Anfielders would have little option but to sell their troublemaking attacker.
