Liverpool Star Set For Shock Exit: He Could Join Premier League Rivals Before Transfer Deadline

Daniel Sturridge could leave Liverpool before tomorrow’s transfer deadline, according to the bookmakers.

Jurgen Klopp has reportedly grown frustrated with Sturridge and his inconsistent displays. Much has been made of Sturridge failing to fire under Klopp and his inability to fit into the German’s system.

And Betfair have priced him at 3/1 to join West Ham this month. He is 12/1 to join Tottenham and Inter Milan and 16/1 to join Arsenal.

Sturridge, 27, has scored six goals this season but four of those have come in the EFL Cup. However, with Klopp short of options it is likely Liverpool would need to sign a replacement before sanctioning a sale.

The England forward once again drew a blank as the Anfield side were eliminated from the FA Cup as they lost 2-1 at home to Wolves on Saturday.Image result for sturridge

Liverpool’s awful start to 2017 has seen them win just once in eight games, with Sturridge’s only goal in that sequence coming in the first match, a 2-2 draw at Sunderland on January 2.

Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he found it difficult to accommodate Daniel Sturridge in his side, telling talkSPORT: “There is no doubting his goal-scoring ability but a No. 9 in the modern game now has to give more.”

Club legend Jamie Carragher recently said in his Sky Sports punditry role that Rodgers bought Sturridge from Chelsea in January 2013 because of his pace and that on current form “it’s like playing with 10 men” when he fails to score.

Rodgers, now in charge of Celtic, said: “Daniel will always get goals, he is that quality, but it’s about trying to fit it into the way your team works.

“That wasn’t easy to do when I was at Liverpool. We always had to find a way to fit him in the team. Sometimes he was out wide with Luis Suarez central and other games he was central and Luis was wide.

“There was always a conundrum there because you want to be aggressive and press the game and there are certain areas of the pitch where you always have to look — if Daniel is in the team — where you can and can’t press.

“There is no doubting his goal-scoring ability but a No. 9 in the modern game now has to give more than that.”
