Daniel Sturridge should leave Liverpool for Newcastle, says Ian Wright

Daniel Sturridge has found it difficult to break into Liverpool’s starting XI since Jurgen Klopp took charge of the club in 2015.

The 28-year-old has started just 10 Premier League games over the last two seasons, losing his place to Roberto Firmino.

The England international was handed an opportunity at the weekend against Newcastle but failed to impress in the 1-1 draw at St James’ Park.

And former Arsenal striker Ian Wright thinks it is about time Sturridge looked to leave the Anfield club, claiming Newcastle would be a good fit.

Ian Wright thinks the Newcastle fans would take to Daniel Sturridge

"I think Newcastle would be the ideal club for Daniel Sturridge,” Wright told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"The fans would take to him there."

However, off the back of his performance against the Toon, supporters might not be keen to see him in a Newcastle shirt.

"He was laboured, a yard off the pace, I don’t think he can train properly, and that’s why he gets injury after injury,” Souness said.

"I was watching him last year, and his warm up was like 30 per cent. Then he is expected to sprint when the game starts.

"It might be another month, six weeks before Klopp plays him again.

"Klopp sacrificed the workrate of Firmino for a bit of magic from Sturridge, but he didn’t have it, he laboured today."
