Suarez knew the pressure was on when signing for Liverpool

Luis Suarez admits he felt under pressure to deliver after sealing a £22.8m move to Liverpool. With Fernando Torres in the process of completing a record-breaking move to Chelsea, it was imperative that Liverpool landed a proven marksman.

In the end they signed two, with England international Andy Carroll also arriving from Newcastle.

And Suarez has revealed that he felt intimidated by the prospect of running out at Anfield.

He told Don Balon: "There are so many people watching you. You feel the pressure of what the club has paid for you, but I tried to live as calmly as I could, not to think about the people watching me."
