"The experience I've gained from working, training and living with Thierry is priceless," said the Liverpool striker. "Spending that amount of time with him is a privilege and I have to take advantage.

"Yes, I've been spying on him in training with France and obviously I hope it helps me at Liverpool. I stole little tips from him which he probably doesn't even know about but it inspires me.

"The sort of things I have been picking up from Thierry can turn me from being a good striker into a world-class one. Thierry is a superb teacher for me and I'm not ashamed to say it.

"We can win the Premiership - there's no reason why not - and Thierry could be helping Liverpool and I without even knowing it!"
