Fernando Torres is set to become the European face of the popular video game Pro Evolution Soccer.
Liverpool's No.9 will join Lionel Messi as the cover star of PES 2010 after signing a deal with makers Konami.
"Everyone knows that when it comes to football simulation, Konami's PES series is by far the most realistic title available," said Torres.
"The new game looks absolutely stunning, and I look forward to seeing myself in action in PES 2010."
Torres, who is known to be a keen game player, is following in the footsteps of stars such as Thierry Henry and John Terry.
"Fernando has established himself as one of the most exciting strikers in the game," said Jon Murphy, PES European team leader.
"He encapsulates everything that is good about the modern game, showcasing both pace, skill and vision - three elements that play a major part in PES 2010 as a football simulation."
The game is released on PLAYSTATION3, Xbox 360, PC-DVD, PSP, PlayStation 2 and mobile phones this autumn.
