Daniel Sturridge will transfer to Liverpool young star move to Anfield before transfer deadline / Liverpool Transfer News

Liverpool wants Daniel Sturridge but Chelsea slap £25 million price tag on Sturridge.

Brendan Rodgers is looking to put more of a stamp on the Liverpool squad with this mornings papers of the opinion that he is lining up a £15 million bid for Chelsea’s Daniel Sturridge. Charlie Adam and Stewart Downing would have to be sold to fund this change in personnel. David Moyes is thought to be a firm admirer of the fellow Scot, with a £5 million valuation placed on the man with the mobility of a great grand-parent.

Chelsea have told Liverpool that they will not allow Daniel Sturridge to move to Anfield in a cut-price deal this week.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has set his sights on landing Chelsea forward Sturridge, who fits neatly into Liverpool’s long-term plan to sign young, British players and mould them into world-class stars.

Yet Anfield insiders have revealed that Chelsea are holding out for a bumper fee for the England international, who is being valued at a whopping £25 million by the reigning European champions.

That figure would appear to rule Liverpool out of the race to sign Sturridge, although they will still raise the possibility of a season-long loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

The former Manchester City forward is unsettled at Stamford Bridge having already decided it is in his best interests to leave the club.
Sturridge knows he is not guaranteed regular football at Chelsea this season given the signings of Eden Hazard, Marko Marin, Oscar and Victor Moses who can all play in wide positions.

Add to that Fernando Torres is now the club’s recognised first-choice central striker and it is clear the 22-year-old is very much on the peripheries at Stamford Bridge.
Sturridge also fears he could drop out of England contention if he is not playing on a regular basis this season.
However, the forward remains Chelsea’s only senior cover for Torres meaning the European champions are reluctant to sell him, despite his wishes.

The price tag would appear a little inflated for a young player with just two years left on his current Chelsea contract and who was valued at just £6 million when he moved from Manchester City back in 2009. His previous employers would be entitled to a cut of any deal if he were to move before Friday’s transfer deadline.
