Five clubs that should look to sign Daniel Sturridge in the summer

#2 Southampton

Sturridge would thrive at St. Mary’s

The Saints’ biggest problem this campaign has been the lack of a natural goalscorer. Shane Long, Nathan Redmond, and Jay Rodriguez have all contributed to the Saints' success this campaign, but the trio lacks the cutting edge to ensure they continue their annual progression.

Sturridge should consider a club the size of Southampton as a positive move figuring the lack of success he's having with Jurgen Klopp. Under the management of Claude Puel, Sturridge would have the one component he's lacked his entire career by becoming the much-coveted number one forward, loved and adored by all.

Having knocked Liverpool out of the Capital One Cup semi-final recently, Sturridge witnessed first hand just what the south-coast club are capable of achieving with an underfired squad. So, with the 27-year-old amongst the ranks, just what exactly could Southampton achieve?

In front of 32,000 supporters on a weekly basis, the Saints could provide the home the forward has craved for years. With fans cheering his name, brilliant playmakers providing him with chances on a plate, and expert wing-play, the striker would thrive at St. Mary's.

Southampton have been previously linked with a move for Sturridge, and now is the time for the club to capitalise.
