Considering Sturridge is a sub for Liverpool and the likes of Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero et al are dominating the goalscoring charts, this is praise indeed!
We’re taking it as a not so subtle hint that the 26-year-old is still desperate for a Liverpool switch!
He’s back in Southampton’s first-team now, but still has aspirations to leave the south coast and play for a club with Champions League ambitions.
We really hope that at some point they allow him his wish.
