#5 Daniel Sturridge
Trending
Football has really seen only one world class season from Daniel Sturridge – his devastating partnership with Suarez in 203-14 – yet the talent that resides in that left boot is enormous. The most natural finisher England has had since the days of Michael Owen, Sturridge seemed all set to take up the mantle as the latest in the long line of Liverpool's legendary strikers.
It is safe to say things haven't gone as planned for Sturridge – his lack of availability has meant managers learn to build teams in his absence, with his presence considered a sporadic luxury. While Rodgers openly enthused about his qualities and immediately found a place for him whenever he was available, Klopp has been more pragmatic – with Firmino firmly established as his first-choice forward when the entire squad is fit.
At 27 years of age, Sturridge needs to find a team that wants to be built around him; with LFC unlikely to be that team, the only question seems to be whether Liverpool's hefty asking price will be met.
