Torres signs new Liverpool deal

Fernando Torres has finalised a new contract at Liverpool that will put him on £110,000 a week. The Spanish striker agreed the terms of the deal in May and has now completed the formalities of signing the new contract, Liverpool's website reported.

Torres had already committed himself to Anfield for the next four seasons after signing a six-year deal in 2007. The new contract includes an option for a further year's extension to 2014.

The 25-year-old Spaniard, who is expected to recover from an ankle injury to play at Tottenham on Sunday, has seen his wages rise from £70,000 a week to £110,000 under the new agreement.

Under the terms of his original deal, Torres had the option of having his wages reviewed this summer and Liverpool have been quick to ensure there is no hint of a problem, aware that Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have shown interest in the player.
