Fernando Torres targets legendary AC Milan status

Fernando Torres says that he wants to establish himself as an AC Milan legend during his spell at San Siro.

Fernando Torres has expressed an ambition to earn legendary status at AC Milan.

The Spaniard secured a two-year loan move to the Rossoneri from Chelsea last week following a goal-shy three-and-a-half-year stint at Stamford Bridge.

Nevertheless, Torres hopes to rediscover his goalscoring touch to fire himself into Milan's record books alongside the modern greats.

"Every player is different, but [Marco] Van Basten, [George] Weah and [Filippo] Inzaghi defined an era," he told reporters on Tuesday.

"I want to achieve the same results as them. I am different from those players, but maybe in a few years' time, they'll have my number nine in the museum.

"I want to take advantage of this opportunity. It is a challenge that I needed. I'm really happy to be here. I want to score the goals that can take this club back up with the best around."

The 30-year-old striker will expect to make his debut when Milan travel to Parma on September 13.
