Liverpool's new £11.5m signing from Ajax is confident he can follow in the footsteps of his countrymen and quickly adapt to the demands of the Premiership.

"Almost all the players who have come over here to England from Holland have done very well, and that gives me great heart," said Babel.

"Bergkamp did very well, van Persie is doing great now while van der Sar, van Nistelrooy and Stam all performed at a very high level.

"Dirk Kuyt in his short time here already has a big name - and I have the confidence that I will do well at Liverpool."
