Scotland international Charlie Adam, who cost Liverpool £9million following an impressive first season in the Premier League with Blackpool, is up for the challenge of being a regular Liverpool first-teamer. He said: "I think the competition for places will be good for the club. I thrive on that type of challenge and I'm sure the others lads will as well." Adam scored during the club's 6-3 friendly win over Malaysia XI on Saturday, but the 25-year-old would swap his goalscoring habits for a trophy next season.
"The lads have received me really well and helped me ease into the team and I'm happy this has shown on the pitch so far," he added.
"But I came to Liverpool to win titles and I would trade in anything for that, even if it meant not scoring at all next season.
"It's going to be tough, but with our latest signings I'm confident enough to say that we will pose a genuine assault for not only the Premier League, but for the cups as well."
