Suarez keen on extended stay

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is keen to stay on Merseyside despite mounting speculation over his future in English football.

Suarez has been linked with Paris St Germain, a move which would bring a premature end to his tumultuous time in England following his transfer from Ajax in January 2011. The Uruguayan has become a hate figure for rival fans after he was fined and banned for eight games for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra in a league match in October.

Yet he has reject the prospect of leaving Anfield before his contract expires in four years' time - and even admits his thoughts have already drifted towards securing an extended deal. Suarez told Uruguayan website ovaciondigital.com: "I want to stay. Despite everything that happened, I am very happy here, on and off the pitch."
