BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Liverpool reiterated their desire to hold on to prized striker Luis Suarez on Friday and said the coveted Uruguayan would feature against Thailand in the final leg of their Asian tour.

Suarez has been the subject of two bids from English Premier League rivals Arsenal, with the second an eye-catching 40 million and one pounds, British media reported earlier this week.

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre said both bids had been rejected and the club would not welcome any further offers for the 26-year-old, who scored 23 goals last season but collected a 10-game suspension for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April.

"It has never been our intention to sell Luis," Ayre told reporters in Bangkok on Friday.

"As has been widely reported in the media, we've received two separate offers from Arsenal for the player and we've rejected both offers.

"So, our situation remains the same and Luis Suarez remains a Liverpool player. He's here in Thailand as part of our squad."
