West Ham confirm Daniel Sturridge interest

Daniel Sturridge

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has confirmed that he is an admirer of Daniel Sturridge and has hinted that he could make a move for him during the summer transfer window.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp is desperate to offload the 27-year-old hitman but with him being laid up with so many injuries, supporters will be wondering who will be stupid enough to offer hard cash for him. On his day, a fit Daniel Sturridge is one of the best strikers out there but those days aren’t very frequent and Liverpool really need to replace him.

Commenting on Sturridge, Bilic said: “If you talk about Sturridge as a player, especially if you go back two or three seasons, he was unbelievable. But then he wasn’t a subject for West Ham.

“Now you can still see it when he plays. He plays very rarely but I watched Stoke against Liverpool the other day. He came on and, with a couple of passes, he broke their defence.

“So of course he is showing that when he plays, but he plays very rarely. When he is on fire he is a great player.

“Is he the sort of striker we would look at? We are going to see. We have our list of strikers.”
