'Torres will stay at Anfield'

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has indicated that striker Fernando Torres will stay at Anfield.

There has been heavy speculation over the future of Torres at Liverpool after the Merseyside giants failed to qualify for the Champions League next season.

The Spanish striker has recently made it clear that he wants Liverpool to show ambition and sign some top players. Chelsea in particular are rumoured to be weighing up a bid for Torres.

Goalkeeper Riena commented: "I am calm about Fernando. I spoke to him about his future and he has told me that he intends to continue with us.

"Fernando suffered so many blows last season, but he is a professional and has always wanted to do well for us.

"That is why he remains committed to this club."

Torres managed to score an impressive 22 goals for Liverpool in an injury-plagued season.
