Liverpool target Daniel Sturridge in January

Chelsea second striker Daniel Sturridge has found it very difficult to cope with the situation right now at Stamford Bridge. Despite being the only striker option at the moment for Fernando Torres, the England international who is eager to leave Chelsea has saw his playing time under Roberto Di Matteo dramatically reduced, with only two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season so far.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for the striker in the January transfer window. According to reports from Anfield, the loan deal is expected to include an option to make the transfer permanent should the 23-year-old player impress the club.

Which means Sturridge will have to go to Liverpool on loan first before they could finally sign him permanently subject to his performances.

With the Blues value of 15million euros for their striker, Liverpool manager Rogers Brendan said he will be willing to spend much for Sturridge only if the striker fits the Red’s style of play. Rogers is looking for an option upfront to cover for Fabio Borini (who is already out for a broken foot) and provide competition for Luiz Suarez.

Daniel Sturridge has only 18 months left on his current contract with the club and it is unlikely that he will be considering a contract extension. So Roberto Di Matteo may be willing to consider any negotiation for the player seems the club are planning to bring in another striker to compete with Torres in January.
