Luis Suarez says he intends to stay at Liverpool for "a very long time".The Uruguay forward took his goal tally to 22 for the season with the opener in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Arsenal.

The often controversial Suarez has quickly become a cult hero on The Kop since his £22.8m move from Ajax on transfer deadline day two years ago. The 26-year-old says it is a "dream" to play at Anfield and he intends to continue to help the club develop into Champions League challengers once again under Brendan Rodgers.

"I hope to be at Liverpool for a very long time because it's a massive club that kids dream about playing for," Suarez said. "I've been very proud to be at a club like Liverpool and to have made the decision to come here. In two years I've lived through some spectacular and very special moments that I will never, ever forget.

"There have been a few difficult times as well, but with the support of my family, the club and the fans, things have gone well for me."

Suarez continued: "I do feel at home here. When I'm out and about, all I get is support and encouragement and that's very important and when I come to the club I feel like people have known me all my life."
