Liverpool new-signing Robbie Keane has stressed that he has his own style, and will not try to be Reds version of David Villa, but will strive to deliver the goods in partnership with Reds’ ace Fernando Torres to be as prolific a combination as the two Spaniards are for their country.
The Republic of Ireland forward signed for the Reds this summer in a big-money move from Tottenham, thus giving boss Rafa Benitez plenty of options with his versatility.
Keane told ZOO magazine: "As good as David Villa is, I like to think I am my own player and won't be trying to be Liverpool's version.
"But if Fernando and I can become as successful for Liverpool as he and Villa are for Spain, then that would be fantastic!"
Keane and Torres are set to spearhead the Merseyside attack together for the first time in a competitive game when the Reds take on Standard Liege in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League qualifier in Belgium.
