Liverpool star won't join Barcelona

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will have his clubs fans breathing a sigh of relief this morning after insisting that he has no interest in returning to Spain to link up with Barcelona.

Torres said: "As a competition, the Premier League is the best. When you are talking about organisation, respect and having all the stadiums full every weekend, it is really nice to see that.

"In Spain they have some of the better players in the world but, as a competition, it is not as big as the Premier League.

"I've played in Spain and can tell you honestly, the Premier League is much better."
