Rickie Lambert has insisted that he is "knuckling down" in a bid to be ready for the start of the 2014-15 Premier League season.
The striker completed a move from Southampton to Liverpool, the club he supported as a boy, earlier this summer, admitting at the time that he had "always dreamt" of playing for the Reds.
He told the club's website: "I'm thinking about training sessions now and trying to do my best to get fit. Obviously I'm still made up to be here but it's gone. It's about knuckling down now and doing my best.
"I've been here for four weeks and I feel at home. My family are settled and already in a house, so I don't need to worry about them, I can just concentrate on football.
"I've been a Liverpool fan all of my life but I never quite realised how big the club is abroad until I was actually there."
Liverpool will take on AC Milan in a pre-season match in America later today.
