Sporting rejected their most recent bid of €65 million for the Sweden international but Arsenal are expected to return with an improved offer.

According to A Bola, the Portuguese champions have identified Almeria's Suarez as the man their want to replace the prolific Swede.

Suarez, 27, was a key player for his side as they narrowly missed out on promotion to La Liga last summer, scoring 31 goals in his 43 games across all competitions.
