Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has revealed he would only return to the Premier League to play for Liverpool, with the Uruguay star admitting he misses the club's supporters and the atmosphere at Anfield.

Suarez became a fans' favourite during his three years at Liverpool, and scored an impressive 82 goals in 133 appearances for the club before leaving for Barcelona in a £75million deal in 2014.

The forward has gone on to enjoy much success at the Camp Nou - including the treble in his debut season with Barca - but has now revealed that Liverpool remain in his heart.

In an interview with ESPN, Suarez admitted he could make the move back to England in the future but only if it was to play for Liverpool.

"You never know what will happen in the future," he said.

"If I was to return to England, it would be to play for Liverpool - not for any other team.

"I've missed the fans. The atmosphere is incredible, it's incredible.

"Everyone who has played for Liverpool knows how important the fans are - they know they will always be in my heart."

Liverpool are currently in the midst of a rebuilding process following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers earlier in the season, with new coach Jurgen Klopp having been given the task of steering the club back into the Champions League.

Despite an up-and-down campaign in the Premier League, Klopp has managed to lead the Reds to the Capital One Cup final after Liverpool came through on penalties to beat Stoke City in their semi-final second-leg on Tuesday night.

The team could now face fierce rivals Everton or Premier League heavyweights Manchester City in the final, which will take place at the end of February at Wembley.
