Sunderland closing in on Ajax striker Suarez

Sunderland are chasing Ajax striker Luis Suarez.

The Sunday Mirror says manager Steve Bruce has already begun to compile a list of players he wants to bring to the Stadium of Light and scout Ricky Sbragia ran the rule over Ajax star Suarez in Uruguay’s 3-1 win in Switzerland this month.

Suarez scored that night and Bruce knows the 23-year-old, a prolific scorer in the Dutch League, will cost big money as several of the top sides in Europe are tracking him.

Eto.o was the only player that i can compare
him to the way they both finish is idenical.

Daftest rumour i've heard this year, Suarez has all the attributes to be a world class player for years to come.Why would he want to go to Sunderland?

Don't compare him with those 2. Also can you say: Van Persie, Robben, Ruud Van Nistelrooy?

Also Suarez is way more versatile then Eto'o, he can function as winger on both sides and a striker.
