STURRIDGE READY FOR REDS FIGHT

ENGLAND striker Daniel Sturridge has vowed to stay and fight for his place at Liverpool.

Sturridge (above) was shipped out on loan in January and relegated with West Brom in May.

The 28-year-old was also linked with a move to Turkish giants Besiktas last month.

But he is back at Anfield and determined to prove himself to boss Jurgen Klopp, having featured in all three of the Reds’ pre-season friendlies so far this summer.

Sturridge said: “I see myself staying at Liverpool, hopefully being part of the team week-in, week-out.

“Pre-season is going well, so for me it’s keeping my head down and building on that.

“I’m excited about the season ahead and it feels great to be back.”

Sturridge is set to feature against Blackburn tonight at Ewood Park before Klopp’s squad embark on their US tour.

“Pre-season has started well for me and the team,” he added.

“I am feeling great and can’t wait to get the season underway.

“We have the tour to come where we face some great teams like Man United, Man City and Dortmund.”
