Christian Benteke says he joined Liverpool over the summer with his eyes wide open.
The former Aston Villa striker signed for the Reds.
"When the deal was going through, I sat and searched," says Benteke to the Daily Mail.
"I looked at what the club had won, how many leagues, how many Champions Leagues. That kind of thing. I saw that the top scorer was Ian Rush. He's got a figure like 300 and something (346). Wow. He was from Wales, yes? It was important for me (to learn) because I wanted to know where I was going.
"I wanted to know what was expected. I know great strikers wore No 9 in the past, yes. But I don't put pressure on myself. I just do as well as I can to help the club. They told me that the number was available and it would be good for me. So I took it. This is a step up but that was the reason I wanted to come. The expectation is big but that is good. I have to deal with it."
