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

#4 Leicester City

Under-fire Ranieri needs something special in his squad

Champions Leicester are in a real rut at the moment, and unless they can finally bring proven Premier League quality into the fold, they may suffer a similar fate as Blackburn in 1999 when they suffered relegation despite winning the league just four years earlier.

Claudio Ranieri is now facing the wrath of supporters, who are desperate for an ounce of the success that the club achieved so remarkably last season. Signing a player with the quality Daniel Sturridge possesses would be a fundamental factor in the Foxes achieving success once more.

Unlike last season, Jamie Vardy is struggling in front of goal, and new signing Ahmed Musa has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League following his mega-move from CSKA Moscow this summer.

Struggling for goals, Sturridge would flourish in the Leicester side that plays with such pace and penetration from wide players. Whether it be in a partnership or as the lone striker, Sturridge's clever movement, lethal finishing and extreme burst of pace would guarantee him success at the King Power Stadium.

When you consider the fact that Leicester recently spent £30million on Islam Slimani and £18million on Ahmed Musa, inevitably coughing up £20million for Sturridge is a no-brainer for Ranieri.
