Why Liverpool icon Fernando Torres will be sticking around at Anfield after goal-scoring display in legends match - explained

The Spaniard rolled back the years by scoring in front of the Kop to the delight of the 60,000 fans crammed in to watch a team of Liverpool Legends take on their Ajax counterparts.

And it seems Torres is not quite ready to give up on the reunion just yet.

Torres will be spending the weekend at Liverpool's training ground observing the Reds' preparations for their clash against Brighton on Sunday.

With a few days free from managing his Atletico Madrid youth side, Torres has decided to use the time to watch Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff at close quarters as he continues his development as a coach.

Atletico Madrid's Juvenil section, the name given to under-19 sides in Spain, has been rejuvenated since Torres has took charge putting up a challenge to cross-city rivals Real Madrid who are managed by another former Liverpool player in Alvaro Arbeloa.

Though friends and team-mates as players, Arbeloa and Torres have become rather testy rivals with several flashpoints between the two in their encounters on the sidelines.

Torres will finish the trip by watching his former side take on Brighton at Anfield on Sunday. An appearance that is sure to have selfie hunters and television directors on red alert for sightings of the star in the stands.
