The Sun states that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has informed England international he’s free to leave in January, as the 28-year-old forward eyes regular opportunities as he seeks to force his way back into the England squad.
Sturridge has struggled with injury problems in recent seasons and has found himself behind Roberto Firmino and Dominic Solanke in the pecking order at Anfield this season, making Sturridge surplus to requirements.
