Joe ColeĀ  says that he cannot wait to start to start providing goal scoring chances for Fernando Torres.

The former Chelsea man joined Liverpool on a free transfer earlier this summer and is keen to strike up a partnership with the Spaniard.

Speaking to The Sun Cole said: "One of the main reasons I came to Liverpool was because I wanted to play with these great players.

"I'm going to work every day to make Fernando as many chances as I can.

"I've been watching the way he plays ever since he came to the club and, the season before last, he was the best striker in the world, without a shadow of a doubt.

"I love playing with strikers who play on the shoulder of the last defender. The best striker I played with at Chelsea was Hernan Crespo his movement was absolutely unbelievable.

"I had a good relationship with him and hopefully I will be able to have that kind of relationship with Fernando.

"My job is to make chances for the front men and I can't wait to play alongside him."

Liverpool's season kicks off on 15th August when they play arsenal at home.
