Recent Liverpool signing Sotirios Kyrgiakos is confident that he has the necessary credentials to be a success in the Premier League.

The 30-year-old Greece international moved to Anfield from AEK Athens last week, having previously enjoyed spells with Panathinaikos, Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Kyrgiakos said: "I have a little experience of winning titles from my previous career in Greece and in Scotland.

"I won one title with Panathinaikos and two in Scotland when I played with Rangers. I hope that the experiences I had in Scotland will help me begin well at Liverpool.

"I believe that I have the qualities needed to play in the Premier League.

"My time in Scotland will help because it is a similar style of football to here.

"It is true that the Premier League will be more difficult than the SPL, because the game is faster here and there are more quality players.

"In Scotland you had Rangers, Celtic and Hearts and it was very rare for us to lose to anyone - if we did it was normally to one of those teams.

"In England, everyone is capable of beating everyone else."
