"For me, Torres has just got to be about the best striker in the world at the moment. You saw how good he was at the European Championships, and I am sure scoring the winning goal in the final will have done his confidence the world of good.
"I am looking forward to playing alongside him - of course I am. Torres is the kind of striker that anyone would want to play alongside.
"He makes great runs, holds the ball up well to allow support to get around him and when he gets the chance in front of goal he is deadly.
"I cannot wait for the real stuff to start and hopefully we will work well together.
"I do not see any reason why we will not be a successful partnership but the manager has got a lot of options in attack so I am really going to have to hit the ground running."
