Robbie Keane admits it is a ‘dream come true’ to join Liverpool and has set his sights on a productive partnership with Fernando Torres. The 28-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Reds on Monday after a fee, which could rise to £20.3million, was agreed with Tottenham. And Keane, who has been allocated Anfield’s famous No.7 shirt, is now looking forward to a successful spell on Merseyside after admitting that he left Tottenham in order to progress his career.
“It is a dream come true,” Keane told Liverpool’s official website. “I have been a massive fan all my life and to be here is overwhelming.
“Liverpool came in for me and it was something I always dreamed about as a kid.
“I am at the stage now where I want to kick on a bit and win a lot of trophies. I believe that Liverpool can do that with the squad of players we have.
“Sometimes in life you don’t get many opportunities to go somewhere you have dreamed of going.
“When an opportunity like this comes along, you have to grab it with both hands.”
Keane has also revealed he has discussed his role at Liverpool with manager Rafa Benitez and the Republic of Ireland international is expecting to play as a second striker to Spanish star Torres.
“I have spoken to him (Benitez) about the situation,” added Keane. “He knows how I play and hopefully I can do a job for him.
“It is up to me to prove that I can stay in the team every week. You don’t just come into a club and expect to walk straight into the team; you have to earn your place and I am looking forward to doing that.
“I see myself as a second striker. I can play off the shoulder, link things up and play in the hole.
“You are always judged on scoring goals as a striker and I have always scored a lot of goals. Hopefully I can continue that here at Liverpool.”
And Keane – who is expected to make his debut against Villarreal on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports 1 – has hailed Torres as the best striker in the world and is hopeful he can strike up a dangerous relationship with the former Atletico Madrid ace.
“He (Torres) has been a revelation since he came to the Premier League,” added Keane.
“Torres is probably the best striker in the world right now. Hopefully we can play a lot of games together and do well.”
Sometime it’s hard to judge the player star status before any major tournament like Euro, World Cup and Copa America. Do you still remember Karel Poborsky, Patrick Berger, Smicer fame rose from nowhere just because the performance in Euro 1996. So do the Roger Milla and Toto Schillaci (at the end of playing career) in World Cup 1990.
