Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt believes the signing of Glen Johnson could edge the club closer to winning some honours next season.
The Reds finished the 2008-09 campaign without a major trophy, but they did enjoy a good season as they finished as runners-up to Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Dutchman is confident Johnson's arrival at Anfield could well bring them the league title in 2010, having been impressed with his new team-mate thus far.
"Last season we played very well," Kuyt told the club's official website.
"Unfortunately, we didn't win any trophies, but if we can keep the team together then the fact we have added Glen Johnson means hopefully we can go one step higher.
"Glen has shown already that he is a very good player in the Premier League and the England team."
Johnson made his Liverpool debut on Wednesday night in a 0-0 friendly draw against Swiss side St. Gallen, in which he played the entire second half.
The former Portsmouth and Chelsea defender's first Premier League outing could be the club's season opener against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.
