Liverpool star Fernando Torres has reiterated his commitment to the club by claiming he intends to stay at Anfield for many years to come. The Spaniard made a seamless transition from La Liga to the Premier League when he arrived in England two years ago, however some critics have suggested he may leave should Rafa Benitez’s side fail to finish inside the top four this year. Yet the Spanish international is settled with his young family and leaving is clearly not in his thoughts.
Torres told the club’s official website: “I am very proud to play for Liverpool because it is a club with a lot of history.”
“I would like to be part of this history one day by winning trophies.”
“The fans here have seen some of the best players in the world playing for Liverpool and now they sing my name, but I have only been here two years and I haven't won trophies, I've only scored some goals.”
“I hope in a few years I can write another book explaining about the victories and trophies I've won at Liverpool.”
When asked if his family echoed his sentiments, Torres claimed his young daughter could pick up the famous Scouse accent like some his illustrious teammates.
He said: “Some of my teammates have kids and they speak with a strong Scouse accent.”
“I hope to be here for a long time and if my daughter speaks English and Scouse, I will be proud.”
“I have plenty of years here, I am sure about that, and I hope the trophies will come soon.”
