Ryan Babel believes that Luis Suarez has already become a Liverpool legend during his short time at the club since his arrival from Ajax in January.
The former Reds winger is now plying his trade in Germany with Hoffenheim, but took part in a twitter Q&A in conjunction the English club on his 25th birthday.
"Luis has developed very well, in Ajax [he] was a legend and I think he is a legend in Liverpool already," Babel said of the Uruguayan.
The Dutch forward was also asked whether he still looked out for Liverpool results and which player's from Anfield he still keeps in touch with.
"I do !!! I'm [in] touch with Lucas [Leiva] from time to time; still have some contact with Martin [Skrtel] so it's good to keep in touch with the club."
Babel also stated that his favourite goal for the club was his first one in English football against Derby County, and that it was very important for him to be back in the Dutch national squad.
When asked whether he missed Liverpool, he stated: "Yes I do !! I've made good friends in my time over there and I still have love for the club."
