Luis Suarez joined Liverpool thanks to Carlos Tevez
The reason why he came to England
Suarez revealed the sight of the Argentinian terrorising defenders in the Premier League played a part in his decision to move to Anfield from Ajax in January 2011.
“Yes, I watched Tevez when I was playing in Holland and I could see he was doing really well,” said Suarez.
“That was one of the things that really motivated me to come and play in the Premier League. I thought that if Tevez can do really well, then I could do too because I have a similar physical stature.
“Carlos is a mature person and has sorted out his problems. He’s an excellent player and everyone in England is enjoying watching him play at this moment.
“Given the way we play, South American players should have no problems whatsoever settling into the English game.”
