Defender Alberto Moreno admits his departure from Sevilla has been emotional and complicated but he is relishing the prospect of joining Liverpool. “I am living a strange situation because I’m leaving the club of my life,” Moreno told ABC de Sevilla “I was always aware of the two teams (trying) to agree. I never got into that but Sevilla have understood that Liverpool’s offer was good and I am going. “(I have) many feelings together. What happened on the pitch, with the fans, will remain forever etched on me and I could not help but mourn (his departure) because I did not expect it. “First came the parting with colleagues, then with the fans...all very complicated. “Liverpool are a great team and of course I’m super-motivated. I hope things go well.” Trabzonspor were keen on veteran Kolo Toure but the Ivory Coast international intends to see out the final year of his Reds’ contract. “Trabzonspor are interested in me but I have expressed my pleasure at being a Liverpool player,” Toure told Sport-Ivoire. “Yes, it is always a possibility to join a lower league for more playing time but I am a competitor and I decided to stay at Liverpool. “The season is full of matches in the league and Champions League and I know I have time to prove I’m still hungry but I know I will not play every game, that’s for sure. “I had talks with the coach, who clearly indicated that I was part of his plans. “I feel good physically and at 33 years of age I am ready for any challenge. “I continue to work hard in training to keep up the momentum and it is why the coach wants to keep me at Liverpool, because I am a fighter. “I intend to start the season with the same goals: to enable the club to progress and to please all fans of Liverpool. “It is a privilege to be at Liverpool. I am very happy to wear the shirt of this legendary club. “The situation can change at any time but for the moment I am at Liverpool and I want to carry on with the club.”
