Torres tells Chelsea fans they'll soon see the best of him

Fernando Torres assures Chelsea fans he is poised to find the sort of form that made him one of the best strikers in the world. The Spanish World Cup winner hit the heights during his first two seasons with Liverpool, but then endured an injury-hit 2010, which saw him struggle to maintain that level of performance.

Torres insists he was always fully committed to the Anfield cause and that any dip was due to a lack of match fitness and confidence.

The appointment of Kenny Dalglish as manager provided a boost for Torres who scored three times in four games before his £50m move to Chelsea on deadline day.

"In the last two months, I've been playing, if not at my best, close to my best.

"I expect to be a bit better for the rest of the season. Last year, was difficult with two surgeries on my knees.

"I needed time to recover. I did."
