Liverpool Plan Hopeful £8m Move to Sign In Form Chelsea Stri
-
Liverpool are preparing an £8m bid for Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge as the Merseyside club looks to further strengthen their strike-force. The England Under 21 international is currently on loan at Bolton and has impressed with his opening performances for the Trotters, netting three goals in his first three matches.
Having already brought in Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, boss Kenny Dalglish and Director of Football Damien Comolli are keen to bring in further youthful additions as the club plans for the future and Liverpool were said to be close to bringing in the youngster as part of the deal that saw Fernando Torres join Chelsea and will return to the West London club in order to land Sturridge in the summer.
The former Manchester City man has made just one Premier League start for the Blues and after his spell at Bolton comes to a close the youngster will be reticent to sit back on the Chelsea bench, biding his time waiting for his team-mates to fall prey to injury or loss of form to propel him into Carlo Ancelotti’s first team plans.
Liverpool have been looking to bring in young players and the club’s owners have made a point of only providing funds for players for the future who have good sell on value and Sturridge would appear to fit the bill. If an offer came in for the Birmingham born 21 year old then Chelsea may not stand in the way of a sale of a player who is very much a bit part player at the club.

It's a win-win for all should it go through.
Sturridge gets some much-needed action instead of sitting on the bench.
Liverpool gets a promising young local talent at a low price.
Chelsea gets some dosh for offloading a surplus to current requirements.

why is it when they play for smaller teams they perform well.
yet at chelsea he can hardly score.

I don't think Chelsea will sell him, as he is showing some potential. But whether he staying or leaving for Merseyside, he probably need to warm bench for couple season. Unless he can prove he is better than those 1st choice strikers

the reason he couldn't score was that he didn't play enough...at bolton, he's in the first 11....chelsea readily accomodated torres but sturridge got to play when the games are inconsequential..
