Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando Torres has signed a deal with the club for a new improved contract, the club said on its website on August 14 2009.

The 25-year old striker agreed the terms of the deal back in May and has now completed the formalities of signing the new contract, a statement said.

Torres was already tied to Anfield for the next four seasons after signing a six-year deal in 2007 and the new contract includes an option for a further year's extension to 2014, the statement said.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, players Dirk Kuyt, Daniel Agger and Steven Gerrard have already signed new contracts in the last two months.

Since he joined Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007 Torres has proved one of the most successful players for the club, scoring 50 goals in 84 matches.

His winning goal for Spain in the Euro 2008 final against Germany only added to his glamour as one of the world's greatest football stars.
