Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt admits it was a tough decision to leave Feyenoord over the summer.

He said: "I had three fantastic years at Feyenoord and it was a big decision. I had a lot of respect from the fans and it was painful to leave.
"But any sadness I have in my heart about that decision will leave now because I have this fabulous opportunity to succeed at Liverpool.
"This is a wonderful club and the only one I would have left my home for. I think the people of Liverpool and Rotterdam are quite similar - they live for football and nothing else.
"That is my philosophy, too. We have a world-class team and I'm determined to prove I belong. I feel like I do and want to show it on the pitch."
