England international Daniel Sturridge has a tag of being one of the more challenging and frustrating footballers in the Premier League. Since joining Liverpool in January 2013, Giroud has scored 59 goals in 114 games for the Reds. However, as the Merseysiders again aspiring for the Premier League title, Sturridge doesn’t seem to be the man that will help them get to the promised land.

Unlike the best goalscorers in European football, Sturridge has had little impact in big games in recent times due to recurring injury problems that continue to haunt his progression.

The 27-year-old represented his country at Euro 2016 and finished as the tournaments with just one goal – a late winner against bitter rivals Wales.

This England international is a clear example of how statistics can be deceiving, and the reality is, the 28-year-old is mid-table level or a squad player at most.
