Fernando Torres would have no qualms scoring against Liverpool if he makes his Chelsea debut in Sunday’s Premier League clash against his former club at Stamford Bridge.

By sheer coincidence, this weekend’s game could be Torres’ first for his new club following his record-breaking £50 million move from Anfield on Monday night.

The 26-year-old has not asked to be left out to avoid risking the wrath of his former club’s fans, some of whom burned replica shirts bearing his name shortly before his switch to west London was sealed on Monday.

“It is like destiny,” Torres said of the prospect of playing on Sunday.

“It is not perfect for me but we will see what happens and I only have good words about Liverpool. They made me a top player and gave me the chance to play at the top level.

“I will never say anything bad about Liverpool. I have been very happy there, but now the history is different and I am playing for Chelsea.

“If I have the chance to play, I will do my best for Chelsea and hopefully I can score.”

Torres’ commitment to Liverpool this season was questioned prior to his move and he admitted he had begun thinking about leaving Anfield last summer.

“I felt from last summer that I needed to do a step forward in my career and for my ambition as a footballer,” he told Chelsea TV, claiming Chelsea were on another level to his former club.

“I am joining a team that is at the top level. There is not another level after Chelsea.

“I am joining with big names like (John) Terry, (Frank) Lampard, (Didier) Drogba and (Nicolas) Anelka and I can be part of this great team.”

He added: “Also, I wanted to join because Chelsea always have shown a big respect for me. They really want me and it is important when you have the support of the people in the club, and the support of the fans who always showed respect to me when I came to Stamford Bridge and at Anfield.

“Now I am very happy to be a Chelsea player.”
