Torres to see out Liverpool contract

Liverpool’s Spanish striker Fernando Torres has allayed fears he could quit the club by revealing he will see out his current deal.

That timeframe would see the 26-year-old remain at Anfield until the end of the 2012/13 English Premier League season, with the option of another.

The Spain international called on supporters to get behind new boss Kenny Dalglish, who has been placed in charge of the side until the end of the season after Roy Hodgson was sacked on Saturday.

“More than ever, we need to stick together,” he told The People. “We must live in the present, from match to match.”

“We need to add more points, win matches and improve our standing in the table.”

“That is our challenge and I demand the total help of our supporters in doing that.”

“My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals.”

“I haven’t considered leaving, although in football that depends on the club.”

And Torres had some kind words for the outgoing Hodgson, claiming the former Fulham boss was always going to battle to please the Anfield faithful.

“Liverpool had a lot of success under Rafa Benitez and that is difficult for anyone to follow,” Torres said.

“Even if the ball hasn’t always dropped our way this season, we have missed out in a lot of matches.”
