Liverpool are open to cashing in on star striker Fernando Torres, it has been revealed. Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson, a Reds fan, revealed to the Mail on Sunday's Live magazine that Tottenham could be a better place for Torres than Anfield.

Revealing a recent conversation with Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton, Jackson hardly got the feeling that Torres was untouchable as the club have been at pains to point out.

"I saw Martin Broughton at Chelsea's Player of the Year dinner, and he refused to tell me we weren't going to sell Torres", said the 30-year-old.

"He said: 'We'll let him go to the World Cup. At the moment he's still on board, but it's going to take three years to turn the club around, and at his age...' If it's going to take three years to turn the club around, that's going to coincide with the peak of his career, and he'll want to be playing in Europe. So he should probably go and join Tottenham."
