The Gunners failed to capture Suarez in 2013, with the striker moving to Barca a year later.
Barcelona striker, Luis Suarez is another top superstar that Arsene Wenger could have lured to the Emirates Stadium during his time at Arsenal. Following his impressive displays for Liverpool in the 2012/2013 campaign, the Uruguayan became a priority target for the Gunners and a deal was almost completed in the summer of 2013.

It is true that the striker also wanted to join the Gunners but the North London outfit failed to convince Liverpool with their bids, therefore the deal collapsed.
During the following season, Suarez took his game to another level, almost firing The Reds to the Premier League title before securing a £75million move to Barcelona in the summer.
