 Torres won the World Cup with Spain in the summer
|
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres says he is "committed to the club and fans" and is "looking forward to working with new Reds manager Roy Hodgson".
Torres, 26, had been linked to Chelsea and Manchester City ever since the club failed to qualify for this season's Champions League.
"I am looking forward to the challenge ahead," Torres told the club's website.
"My commitment and loyalty to the club and to the fans is the same as it was on my first day when I signed."
The Spain international returned to training on Monday after helping his nation win the World Cup in South Africa in July.

However, Torres, who is recovering from the adductor injury he sustained in the final against the Netherlands, is delighted to be back at the club.
"I am really happy to be back, really happy to stay with all my team-mates," he said.
Liverpool finished seventh last season, failing to win a trophy, with manager Rafael Benitez also leaving the club after six years in charge at Anfield.
As the dismal 2009/10 season drew to a conclusion, Torres claimed the Reds needed to sign four or five players in order to meet his ambitions in terms of challenging for honours.
Liverpool have only added attacking midfielder Joe Cole to the squad, while Yossi Benayoun has joined Chelsea and Argentina defensive midfielder Javier Mascherano is also set to leave.
However, with new manager Hodgson at the helm the former Atletico Madrid star is keen to fire the Reds back into the top four of the Premier League and begin challenging for trophies again.
"This is the best club in the country so the targets and expectations are always high," added Torres who arrived from Atletico in July 2007.
"Hopefully we can stay at our level. At Liverpool the aim is to fight for every title.
"It was difficult last season but we are sure we can improve this season."
