Kromkamp already a Liverpool favourite

DUTCH star Jan Kromkamp already feels at home at Liverpool, having helped inflict defeat on two of the club's main rivals.

The 25-year-old signed from Villarreal in a swap deal which took Josemi back to La Liga - could hardly have arrived at the European champions with more impressive credentials.

So far this season he has already had a hand in seeing Everton and Manchester United knocked out of the Champions League - instantly endearing him to the Kop faithful.
