Alberto Moreno has revealed he has set his own goal target for the season.
The £12m Spanish left back, signed from Sevilla in the summer, wants to score five and create five before the end of the campaign.
Moreno, 22, has netted one so far and has looked dangerous going forward – but there are still question marks over his ability to defend.
Moreno said: “All players love to score goals, especially me, because when I was younger I used to score regularly as I played further forward back then..
“When I was a kid I played more as a winger or a wide attacking midfielder – not as a full-back. But I always like to score goals and above all, provide assists, which is what an attacking full-back has to do.
“As we stand, I’m on one goal and an assist in 12 games, so I think I’m aiming at getting more than five goals and five assists.”
The Reds defence has looked shaky this season and Moreno admits he must improve at the back.
Moreno said: “Maybe defensively [I could get better]. I’m a very attack-minded full-back.
“I’m also very young and I’ve still got a lot to learn. Playing with these players, I’m bound to learn and also playing in this highly competitive league I’m going to learn a lot also.
