FERNANDO TORRES committed his future to Liverpool today and insisted: "I'm at the biggest club in the country."

The World Cup winner has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer with Chelsea and Manchester City chasing his signature.

However, Liverpool have always insisted he is not for sale and Torres has ended the speculation by confirming he's going nowhere.

Torres said: "My commitment and loyalty to the club and to the fans is the same as it was on my first day when I signed. I am looking forward to the challenge ahead.

"From my first day I got the same welcome as Stevie or Carra or players who have been here for a long time. I felt at home from the first day, I feel the fans love me and everyone knows I am really happy here and really happy to play at Anfield.

"I'm looking forward to starting the season and playing with my teammates and for the fans. This is the best club in the country so the targets and expectations are always high.

Hopefully we can stay at our level. At Liverpool the aim is to fight for every title. It was difficult last season but we are sure we can improve this season.

"I am really happy to be back, really happy to stay with all my teammates.

Torres, who is getting back to full fitness after a groin injury, returned to training at Melwood on Monday after his extended break following Spain's World Cup triumph in South Africa.

"Winning the World Cup happens maybe once in your life so it was a fantastic feeling and a great way to end the season," he added.

"I have had a break over the summer and I'm now glad to be back here at Liverpool to see all of my teammates.

"I am looking forward to the first game. I have less than two weeks to get ready but I felt really good in my first session back with the physios and the doctor. I will try to be fit as soon as possible and I am looking forward to playing at Anfield again.

"After a nice break enjoying the summer with my family I was looking forward to coming back to Melwood to see the staff, my teammates and the new players. I'm excited about the new season and about the targets of the club."

Torres is now relishing the chance to work with new manager Roy Hodgson.

"I really appreciated the fact that Roy came out to see me while I was on my holidays," he said.

"He told me about his plans for the club and what he wanted from me and I appreciated that.

"I hope he will be the right man to reach the targets of Liverpool Football Club and I am really looking forward to working with him. At the moment I am training just on my own but as soon as I can I will train with the team and with the new manager.

"I was talking to Stevie (Gerrard) a lot today and I also met with Joe (Cole). I think Joe is exactly the kind of player we need to improve the history of our club. We are keeping our best players and so it's nice to be back with them. Hopefully we can play together as soon as possible.

"He is the kind of player I like to play with and the kind of player who can take the team to a higher level. His passing is unbelievable so hopefully he can start the season well because I am sure he will be a key player for us."

Torres added: "I know that one trophy here at Liverpool - maybe the Premier League - means more than three or four with another club. This was my target from the day I came and it's still my target. Hopefully this season we can feel this sensation here at Liverpool."
