Liverpool attacker reportedly set to leave in January

Sturridge

Daniel Sturridge looks set to leave Liverpool during the January transfer window.

The England international has struggled for regular game time despite being in good shape and has reportedly been informed by manager Jurgen Klopp that he is a back-up to the fab four of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho.

Sturridge will certainly be hoping to claim a place in the England squad for 2018 World Cup and if he wishes to achieve his goal, leaving Liverpool will be necessary.

He is an established and proven scorer at the highest level and there will be no shortage of clubs wanting to sign him.

Despite the rumors, Klopp said of Sturridge’s future: “Physically, Daniel is in the best shape since I came. But, obviously, there are a few players around him who are not that bad as well!”

“I was really happy with his impact when he came on in the game at Brighton – a lot of strikers in his situation would have shot when he passed to Sadio. With the fantastic level the team plays, that’s how it should be. For all the training sessions, he’s always in and always spot-on.

“At the moment, there is absolutely nothing to say about the transfer window because tomorrow there could be one injury and Daniel could play the next five or six games.”
