LUIS SUAREZ might be the best out-and-out striker in the world right now.
But according to former teammate Danny Wilson, the Barcelona star had one unusual habit when he was at Liverpool.
Suarez scored 82 times in 133 for the Reds over three-and-a-half years, helping Brendan Rodgers’ men finish just two points off champions Manchester City in 2014.
Suarez’s incredible campaign saw him secure a big-money move to Barca, where he has gone on to outscore Lionel Messi himself.
The Uruguayan found the back of the net an incredible 59 times in 53 games last season, and he now looks set to be rewarded with a new contract despite being caught in a foul-mouthed rant at a linesman.
Nobody quite knows the secret behind Suarez’s rise to the top, but Wilson believes he may have hit the nail on the head.
