Gaffer Roy Hodgson has talked of his happiness to hear star striker Fernando Torres announce his commitment to us following a summer of speculation.
“I have to say that ever since I took the job, that in my discussions with Christian Purslow, he told me he was always confident that Fernando would stay,” said Hodgson
“He told me there’s nothing to worry about, that there is a lot of speculation but that he’ll play for Liverpool next season – so we don’t need to worry.
“But it’s nice that the speculation can finally end and even better that Fernando gave an interview yesterday in which he spoke about how committed he is and how keen he is to have a good season with the club.”
