Christian Benteke has spoken of his excitement at signing with Liverpool and his desire to win silverware with his new club.

Benteke was officially unveiled as a Liverpool player on Wednesday after completing a £32.5million transfer from Aston Villa.

The Liverpool Echo is reporting the 24-year-old Belgian international already has his sights set on winning major trophies at Anfield.

"I want to be the best and I want to reach the best of myself," Benteke said.

"I came here to win trophies. I came here to reach some great goals with the team.

"It's about winning trophies. It's about doing something in my career I can maybe explain to my son or my kids what I did.

"I think when I came here with Aston Villa it was a great feeling to play at Anfield. Now, to be in the home shirt is going to be an exciting feeling."
