"It's not easy for a foreign player in his first year, but he has done really well. In the summer we were looking at a number of options, but we chose Torres because he is young and hungry and we thought his game would suit the Premier League," said Benitez.
"It's always difficult to score more than 20 goals, but he has done it in his first season. We knew that he was a player with power and pace, he can kill defenders with his pace.
"I didn't have a target in mind for him, the main thing for a striker is to score goals, but they also need to give assists and create space for the other players. Torres' work rate is good and everything is positive now for him and for the club."
