Liverpool have officially signed Robbie Keane from Tottenham in a deal which could rise to
20.3 million pound.
The signing was Rafa Benitez's 5th summer signing, following the arrival of Philip Degen, Andrea Dossena, Diego Cavalieri and David N'Gog.
As a lifelong Liverpool fan Keane has lived through the pain of the club's 18-year title famine.
Now the 28-year-old Dubliner reckons he is at last in the right place to do something about that situation.
"This club has stature, great players and tradition. There is no reason we cannot finally win the title again."
And Keane reckons he can form a mouth-watering strike partnership with Fernando Torres next season.
He said: "Torres has been a revelation since he arrived in the Premier League and I am looking forward to playing alongside him.
"I had a great understanding and relationship with Dimitar [Berbatov] at Spurs, and hopefully I can do just the same with Torres. But it is up to me to get into the team and work hard to prove a partnership works.
"I hope myself and Fernando can have that sort of relationship and score plenty of goals.
"I am very excited with the prospect of playing alongside Torres. He is probably the best striker in the world.
