Torres sees Villa and Silva as missing links
-
Fernando Torres feels that David Villa and David Silva would be the perfect accompaniment to what Rafa Benitez already has at his disposal at Liverpool.
Benitez has never been shy in turning to his native Spain to add to a squad that this season came closer still to ending their wait for The Premier League.
The Reds manager has had varying success with reinforcements from his homeland, doing shrewd business with the likes of Torres and Xabi Alonso but was not so astute with the acquisition of the likes of Fernando Morientes.
Villa and Silva, both of whom currently ply their trade with cash-strapped Valencia, have been linked with moves to Anfield, although it is the latter who looks more likely to be en route from La Liga to The Premier League.
“Villa and Silva would complement Liverpool greatly,” Torres told Marca.
"It is difficult to say which league is better, but The Premiership is more competitive because the British are becoming stronger and players are coming to England.”
Torres himself signed improved terms with Liverpool this week and is adamant that his future lies at Anfield – before finishing off at former club Atletico Madrid – even if Benitez were to ever complete a much-mooted move to Real Madrid.
“I would not follow in his footsteps,” he added. “It would be important to end my career where it started [at Atletico].
"I have improved a lot. I managed to score more goals than any other foreigner in his first year in The Premiership and was third in the Golden Ball.”
