Torres talks tough on winning league

FERNANDO TORRES talked about winning the Premier League with Liverpool yesterday, as countryman Xabi Alonso moved closer to the Anfield exit door.

Liverpool have flown from Thailand to Singapore as they continued their Far East tour, amid speculation that Real Madrid had increased their bid for midfielder Alonso to £30 million (€34m).

Liverpool insist that no deal has been agreed but with Real stepping up their interest in Alonso – as well as full-back Alvaro Arbeloa – the summer long saga could be coming to a conclusion.
