Luis Suarez insists that he joined the Liverpool FC due to its rich history and he also believes that the club is still among some of the best football clubs in Europe.
The Reds have won 18 league titles, five European Cups, three Uefa Cups, three Uefa Super Cups, seven FA Cups and seven League Cups, and the Uruguayan forward admits that the club's history convinced him to join in January.
"The whole world knows what history Liverpool have," Suarez told FourFourTwo.
"They are one of the best teams in Europe, some great players have played here and I was very excited to join."
Of the club's great players, current boss Kenny Dalglish, is considered as one of the greatest to have walked on the Anfield pitch and is also the last manager in the club's history to have won the league title, and Suarez admits that the Scot's influence has already made an impression.
"I've already learned a lot from him," said former Ajax forward. "It seems like it's only been a little while since he was last coaching.
"The first thing he said to me was 'Hola, bienvenido' [Hello, welcome]. He still talks to me in Spanish because I don't understand English fully yet. This makes me feel wanted."
