I am thrilled to be joining a club as prestigious and successful as Liverpool.

Had I not become a footballer, I think I would have been... a virgin.

The first pair of boots I remember owning were Puma Spiders - I still have them in a cupboard at home! They were fantastic boots. I was nine-years-old and I scored about 70 goals with them in a season.

I think I was 5ft 9in at birth.

I always stick with the same pair if I am on a scoring streak. I wouldn't change them until I go a game without scoring.

My dad got me my first pair of boots. It was a big occasion for us to go to the shopping centre. It was an exciting time to make sure you got the right ones.

Playing for my country is the pinnacle of anyone's career. There's a major tournament coming up so I'm looking forward to being a part of that.
