Spanish striker commits himself to Merseyside club, with Reds chairman admitting there have been several bids lodged for club

Betclic the French bookmaker is launching in the UK this month and is offering all Bettingpro readers a £20 no lose bet on Liverpool winning the Premier League 2010/11 - this is a no risk free bet, if they lose you'll get your £20 back.

Most Liverpool FC supporters will have been encouraged by the news that Kenny Huang was looking to liaise directly with the Royal Bank of Scotland regarding a takeover at Anfield, rather than have to deal with George Gillett.

However, chairman Martin Broughton has stated that the Liverpool FC board will remain in control of any deal, and that there had been several bids lodged for the club. Nevertheless, he will hope that a swift sale can be conducted well before the transfer deadline of 31st August, especially with Fernando Torres now committed to the club and expecting new additions to the squad.

Roy Hodgson has previously admitted that Torres has ‘beef’ with the club and this almost certainly relates to the lack of quality players that were signed last season. With Chelsea FC and Manchester City FC both said to be keen on signing the Spaniard, Liverpool supporters will be delighted to see the Spanish striker make a statement of intent.
