Liverpool’s Fernando Torres has confirmed, after positive talks with manager Roy Hodgson, that he will stay with the Merseyside club.
Torres had been strongly linked with a £70 million to Manchester City all summer.
“I really appreciated the fact that Roy came out to see me while I was on my holidays,†Torres said.
“He told me about his plans for the club and what he wanted from me and I appreciated that.
“I hope he will be the right man to reach the targets of Liverpool Football Club and I am really looking forward to working with him.
“At the moment I am training just on my own but as soon as I can I will train with the team and with the new manager.
“My commitment and loyalty to the club and to the fans is the same as it was on my first day when I signed.”
The 26-year-old has been at Liverpool since the summer of 2007 and has scored 72 goals in 116 appearances.
