• News: Borini confident goals will come
  

Fabio Borini has reassured fans that he is on the brink of finding his best form at Liverpool - despite a slow start to the season.

Borini, 21, arrived at Anfield over the summer for a reported fee of £10.5 million, having worked with Reds manager Brendan Rodgers in the past.

The forward has experience of English football from previous spells at Swansea and Chelsea, but has netted just one goal from eight games in a Liverpool shirt. However, he expects his fortunes to change soon.

"I'm working really hard on the training ground," Borini told Liverpool's official website. "On my physical condition, technical side and tactical as well, with the manager and the assistant manager after training, with Luis [Suarez] and all the other players.

"It's just probably a moment or a matter of inches or luck. But I think we have qualities to convert the chances, we see in training and we work every day on shooting. It will come."

The Italy international has been operating in a wide position this season under Rodgers, but he is hoping to be used centrally in future.

"I've played lots of games and I've been involved in all of them," Borini said. "It's great for me because I can get more experience than I played last year. My favourite position and my natural position, as I've said in the past, is up front, because I played there every time in my career.

"But if to help the team I need to play left or right, midfield or even in goal, it's not a problem because to help the team I will do anything. That's the way it is, and all the players have to do that."
