Voronin is eager to prove his worth

Liverpool forward Andriy Voronin has said that he wants to prove his worth by making a mark in the Barclays Premier League.

The Ukraine international failed, who joined the Merseyside club on a free transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, had failed to make an impact in the 2007/08 season.

He was instead loaned out to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin last summer where he proved a big hit, scoring 11 league goals in 20 matches and providing several assists.

Voronin has now completed his loan spell at Hertha, and with no permanent deal agreed, he is set to return to Anfield for pre-season.

“It wasn’t a bad season in Germany but now I am coming back to conquer England,” he said.

“I’m a person who likes to face new challenges. It’s time to prove to myself and to those people who think I can score a lot of goals only in Bundesliga, that it’s not so.

“Liverpool is one of the world’s strongest clubs. To play for it is a great honour for any footballer.

“I know it’s not going to be easy but I feel ready for a real fight to get into the first choice team.”
