Sturridge signs for Liverpool
A “humbled and happy” Daniel Sturridge has today finalised his £12 million switch to Liverpool from European champions Chelsea, and insists he’s happy to play wherever new manager Brendan Rodgers wants him to.
While considered an out-and-out striker, in an interview with Liverpoolfc.com, Sturridge stated that he open to shifting out further wide, a stance that is sure to please the Kop faithful.
“I see myself as a striker. I think I perform best there because my attributes, I believe, are best as a central striker,” Sturridge said.

“But I have played on the wing and have learned a lot doing so. I’d never refuse to play in that position and I’ve never demanded to play up front, either.
“For me, whatever the manager wants me to do I will do it and work as hard as I can for the club and the fans. I’ll try to put a smile on the fans’ faces and try to bring some success to the club – it would be amazing.”
