Former Liverpool hero Robbie Fowler believes Fernando Torres can establish himself as one of the all-time greats at Anfield.
Torres has endured a somewhat frustrating second season at Anfield due to injury, but has still managed to net 11 goals in 19 Premier League games
Fowler, who scored 183 goals in 396 appearances for Liverpool during two spells at the club, is a big fan of Torres and believes there is more to come from the Spaniard.
"In terms of Fernando Torres he could be up there with the greats of Liverpool ie: Ian Rush," Fowler told Sky Sports News.
"His record has been fantastic since he came to the club.
"He is just a very, very good player and he scores all types of goals which is really crucial to a forward as well, he just doesn't get tap-ins.
"So I can see him being up there with the best of them. I think he has got everything."
Fowler, who currently plies his trade in Australia with North Queensland Fury, also believes Liverpool could end their 19-year wait for a Premier League title this season by pipping Manchester United to the crown.
The Reds are currently one point behind United, but Fowler is confident they can win all their remaining games to bring the title back to Anfield.
"I am really, really hoping that Liverpool win it," added Fowler. "If you had asked me four or five weeks ago I would have said Liverpool would have no chance as Man United were playing well and were six points clear with a game in hand.
"But Liverpool, ever since beating Real Madrid in the Champions League, have been on an unbelievable run and I can't really see them getting beat for the rest of the season."
