Kolo Toure has admitted that the forthcoming Premier League season will be "massive" for him.
The Ivory Coast international joined Liverpool on a free transfer earlier this summer, having made fewer than 40 appearances for Manchester City during the last two seasons.
The defender told LFC TV: "I'm still really hungry for more. I still think I can bring more in football.
"This season is going to be massive for me. I will just try to show that I am still one of the best defenders. For a defender, 32 is nothing and physically I feel great.
"For me, I just like to try to do things my way and I will try to do what I can, but I think it's going to be really difficult to replace [Jamie Carragher]. I will give my all and it's going to be a great challenge for me."
Toure missed Liverpool's 2-0 win over Melbourne Victory earlier this week with what the club have described as a minor injury.
