The Reds captain said that he felt Morientes would fit into the team well and help Liverpool pose a more serious threat to the established three.

He said: "He is a great player and scores in the league and cup competitions and in the Champions League. We have a great team spirit here and I am sure if he did come then he would settle well."

He added: "I don't think he can play this season, but if we are able to get him then we get a great player. We have Spanish coaches and players, we have four of them already they will help him settle."
