Barcelona Striker Luis Suarez Arrives at Liverpool Training

Thierry Henry might have tipped Roberto Firmino to become the new Luis Suarez, but Liverpool got a taste of the real thing on Tuesday when the Uruguayan stopped by at training.

Suarez spent three-and-a-half seasons at Anfield between 2011 and 2014, scoring 82 times in 133 games for the Reds.

The forward is enjoying a rare fixture-less week with Barcelona, whose next game is at home against Getafe on Saturday, and took the opportunity to visit some old friends in Merseyside.

His arrival was confirmed on Twitter by Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho:

The 29-year-old left for Barcelona in 2014 for a reported fee of £75 million.

He has since emerged as one of the main contenders for the European Golden Shoe and remains in the hunt for another treble with the Spanish giants.
