Steve Clarke has spoken of his joy at linking up with Craig Bellamy again at Liverpool.

The first-team coach knows from experience just how influential a figure the Welsh striker can be having worked with him at West Ham United.

Clarke insists Bellamy is a great addition to Kenny Dalglish's squad.

"Craig is a good lad and he gives us lots of different options in forward areas on the pitch," Clarke told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"A lot has been said about Craig but his attitude on and off the training pitch is top. He demands high standards, we all demand high standards, so I think there is a good working relationship going forward.

"I knew Craig from working with him before and so did Kevin Keen so we had good background on Craig and really the signing was a no brainer."
