Liverpool's star striker Fernando Torres has warned that he has yet to hit top form in the Premier League this season.

The 24-year-old says he has taken time to get over a busy summer with eventual champions Spain at the European Championships, but hopes to help the Reds clinch some silverware this term.

He said: "Me and the other players from the Euros started back in pre-season later than everyone else and as a result weren't in the best physical shape.

"Last year was very long for me. I played nearly 50 games with Liverpool and then went straight to the Euros.

"But I'm getting better each day and I'll soon be 100 per cent again.

"It was a great experience with Spain and the first big honour I've won. Now I know how it feels to win something like that, it makes me even hungrier to win trophies with Liverpool.

"I came here for that reason and hope this season will be better than last year. I believe we can win the Premier League or the Champions League.

"If we did that, it would be fantastic. We have started well, so there is optimism."
