Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt has warned the rest of the Premier League that team-mate Fernando Torres will improve on his superb debut season in England.
Twenty-four-year-old Spain ace Torres netted 33 goals in all competitions for the Reds last term, following his big-money move from Atletico Madrid.
He then enhanced his reputation further by scoring the winning goal in the final of the European Championships against Germany, leaving Kuyt expecting big things next term.
He told The Sun: "I think he can be even better this season. He is only 24 and can only get better and better.
"Fernando already knows how difficult the Premier League can be, but he did really well last year.
"The only thing he has to be careful about is that people know him now, but for a player with his qualities, he is always going to be difficult to play against.
"He knows that and the defenders know that as well and they will be afraid of him. If he stays fit he can do even better than last season."
