Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge could find himself at Inter soon according to a report from Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.
The Englishman has struggled to secure a regular starting berth in the Liverpool team this season and with a view to making the England World Cup squad could be open to moving elsewhere to secure his place in Gareth Southgate’s squad. Inter are currently evaluating the situation concerning the 28-year-old amid looking at a whole host of other names.
Corriere dello Sport echo Tuttosport’s report confirming Inter’s interest in Sturridge but have revealed a potential stumbling block. Inter are limited to free transfers or loan deals due to Financial Fair Play but Liverpool only want to sell the former Manchester City and Chelsea striker outright.
Sturridge has made 14 appearances -just five of which are starts – in all competitions this term for the Merseyside based club scoring three times and assisting just as many.
I’m fine if we get him on a dry loan, icardi need competition
yes as long as dry loan..eder is finish
Sturridge is a Christian. After winning the Premier League Player of the Month award, Sturridge said, “I do all [through] Christ who strengthens me.”[119]
Sturridge is actively involved in charity work, often helping young players get involved in football. In 2012, while playing for Chelsea, he presented a cheque of €50,000 to Street League, a charity dedicated to helping disadvantaged players across Europe get into football.[citation needed] In summer 2013, Sturridge opened his charity foundation named after him in Portmore, Jamaica, with its aim to help youngsters there get into sport and entertainment.[120] He also owns the Sturr Class Entertainment record company.[121] Sturridge is of Jamaican descent, all of his grandparents being Jamaican.[122]
Style of play
Former Chelsea manager André Villas-Boas said, “Daniel offers a few of the characteristics I had with Hulk when I was with him in Porto… He is an extremely quick player, and he has technique at pace.”[113][114]
Sturridge said he preferred to play as a centre-forward rather than as a wide player: “I do still see myself as a striker but I am doing a job for the team and I’m enjoying doing it.” As Sturridge transitioned from a wider role into a striker when he joined Liverpool, Sturridge also said that he likens himself on striker Thierry Henry, who “played wide for Juventus and then went to Arsenal and played as a centre-forward.”[115]
Although he rarely played for Chelsea as a striker, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers played Sturridge as a striker in most matches. His ability to still drop between lines and pull wide and attack defences, similar to former strike partner Luis Suárez’s playing-style, has led to Rodgers describing him as “what I call a ‘nine-and-a-half”.[116]
when he was playing with suarez I really liked to watch him !
he really knew how to perform nice combinations with his teammates on the pitch.
now ???
it is sad to see how they managed to destroy him so much …
Nahh
