The 22-year-old, who is being treated for meningitis, wants talks over his future at Stamford Bridge with the Reds showing strong interest in bringing him to Anfield
The England international, whose situation
is also being monitored by Arsenal and Manchester City, will hold talks
with Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo about his future after finding
himself relegated to the substitutes bench towards the end of last
season.
Sturridge is understood to blame a lack of opportunities for his
failure to claim a place in England’s Euro 2012 squad and fears for his

The former Manchester City man has two years left on his contract and Chelsea will not be held to ransom over a new deal, meaning they could be willing to sell the versatile attacker this summer.
