Liverpool star Fernando Torres has set his sights on winning the Premier League after scooping another personal award.

Torres beat the likes of Mnchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Everton's Joleon Lescott and Richard Dunne of Manchester City to be named Premier League player of the year at the Northwest Football Awards.

The Spaniard enjoyed a superb debut season in England last term scoring 33 goals for Liverpool before helping Spain to Euro 2008 glory.

Torres was happy to receive the personal prize, but admits he has his sights set on winning the Premier League title this season.

"I would like to win more trophies of course," Torres told Sky Sports News.

"Obviously personal awards and the Premier League is the biggest award we can get. It is a team award that is most important to us."

Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs was named footballer of the year while his manager Sir Alex Ferguson won an outstanding achievement award following Manchester United's league and Champions League double.

Everton boss David Moyes received the manager of the year award while Sir Tom Finney was presented with the lifetime achievement award.
