Following Steven Gerrard’s recent rally that Liverpool have what it takes to win the Premier League title, Dirk Kuyt has followed suit.

The Dutch striker-cum-midfielder has compared Liverpool star attacker, Fernando Torres, to Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

He told Liverpoolfc.tv: “Can he get title for Liverpool as Ronaldo did last season? Why not? Of course they are different players, he comes in from the side but Fernando is a real striker he has everything to be the best player this season.”

“There was nothing on when he got the ball but he scores a few goals like that. He is always looking for the target and as soon as he gets space to shoot he shoots and often scores.

“He is a megastar now but not only is he a great striker but also a great personality, he is just the same on the pitch, in the dressing room, outside the game.

“Off the pitch he is just a normal guy, just one of us but on the pitch he is different. He is something special.

“The partnership (with Robbie Keane) is getting better and if you are good players like those two it does not need much time, they will get used to each other, it is just about feeling and I am sure the partnership will grow and grow.

“Fernando played wonderfully at the Euros as well and always when you need him he takes very important goals.

“He is a top quality players and for me he is the best striker in the world. If you are speaking about a real striker, he is the pinnacle, he is everything, Not only in normal games but more often that not in special games.”
