At least that's what BBC pundit Ian Wright suggested during the sides' 1-1 Premier League draw on Sunday.

Sturridge, 28, has found game time hard to come by this season with Roberto Firmino usually chosen ahead of him to spearhead Liverpool's attack.

But he was handed a rare start at St. James' Park as Jurgen Klopp's men looked to get back to winning ways.

Liverpool endured the same frustration that has blighted them several times this term though as they failed to break down Newcastle's resolute defence.

And Sturridge's hopes of lining up against Manchester United from the off in two weeks' time were done no favours when he missed a great second-half chance.

The former Manchester City and Chelsea ace has previously been linked with a switch away from Anfield to kickstart his career.

And Wright, who used to play up front for Arsenal, reckons swapping Merseyside for Tyneside would be perfect for Sturridge.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Wright said: "I think Newcastle would be the ideal club for Daniel Sturridge.

"The fans would take to him there."

West Ham has been touted as a potential destination for Sturridge in the past.

Whether Klopp will decide to cash-in on the misfiring hitman next year remains to be seen.
