Rickie Lambert eyes permanent Liverpool role

Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert reveals that he is eager to make an instant impact at the club this season.

Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert has insisted that he is eager to be a permanent fixture in the team this season.

The 32-year-old joined the Reds from Southampton at the start of the summer on a two-year deal.

While admitting that the progress of the club is the most important thing, Lambert wants to make his mark at Anfield during the upcoming campaign.

"It's about what I do on the pitch, it's as simple as that, and I'm happy with that," he told the Daily Star. "I have to get picked, progress with the club and impress the manager. That's what matters.

"Of course, I don't want to be on the bench and not play games, but as long as I can see the manager appreciates me and my ability, then I'm happy to do whatever."

Liverpool start the Premier League season at home to Lambert's former club Southampton on August 17.
