Gerrard itching for Suarez link-up

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard can't wait to form a partnership with Luis Suarez next season, following the Uruguayan's awesome impact since his arrival from Ajax.

The £22.7 million January transfer window signing has scored four goals since his move to Anfield, but only played with Gerrard on three occasions, before the club';s inspirational skipper was crocked with a groin problem.

But with the new season on the horizon, Gerrard is excited at the prospect of playing alongside Suarez.

 

"You know within two or three days of training with someone what they are going to be like - Luis has got it," he said.

"He's a winner and a fighter. Everyone is talking about his skills and rightly so, but I like the other side of him, too.

"I remember in the Fulham game when we won 5-2, it was the 93rd minute and he wasn't happy that we weren't given a handball. That sums him up."
