Dirk Kuyt has warned Premier League defences that his Liverpool team-mate Fernando Torres will be even better next season.Torres enjoyed a sensational debut campaign in England following his move from Atletico Madrid last summer, netting 33 goals in all competitions.
The 24-year-old striker also enjoyed a successful Euro 2008 with Spain, scoring the winner in the final against Germany.
And Kuyt has backed Torres to better his goalscoring record from last season.
The Dutchman told The Sun: "I think he can be even better this season.
"He is only 24 and can only get better and better.
"Fernando already knows how difficult the Premier League can be - but he did really well last year.
"The only thing he has to be careful about is that people know him now.
"But for a player with his qualities, he is always going to be difficult to play against.
"He knows that and the defenders know that as well - and they will be afraid of him. If he stays fit, he can do even better than last season."

MR Dirk Kuyt, can i surggest you keep away from the sun newspaper? because you are likelly to be severly burnt. To all you MUFC supporters who are slaging off TORRES, he has the movement of an ELAND, and in my opinion FERDINAND has the facial expression, and the movement of a GIRAFFE? PS MUFC fans its our record you are chaseing. So untill otherwise, give credit where credits due? LFC XXX
MAN UNITED DIE HARD, 19 years L'pools did not defeated united and it will never, now the likes of TEVEZ, EAGLES, NANI, ANDERSON in the MID, OWEN haaaaaaaaaaaaa Terror
Tores will never do any havoc to Man United atall.
Mr.Ferdinand stands long and gain. If you could ask your self, how many goals did tores score against united?
Ferdinand is black, and blacks suck @#$%.
Fernando is good, but we from Manchester united are not scared of him (where we have one like ferdinand)
