Sturridge joins Trabzonspor on three-year deal

Steve Nicol calls upon his time as coach of the Revolution to explain why the travel demands in MLS would prove too much for Daniel Sturridge.

Ahead of his final appearance, Fernando Torres feels his career went better than he could’ve ever imagined.

Jurgen Klopp’s side survived an Adrian error and a late scare to defeat the Saints 2-1 at St Mary’s.

Steve Nicol feels Liverpool’s bench could still do with another young, hungry attacker to help out the world class front three.

Former Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge has completed a move to Trabzonspor, signing a three-year contract with the option for further 12 months.

Sources had told ESPN FC that Sturridge arrived in Turkey on Tuesday where he underwent the formalities before finalising the move.

However, he has agreed to join Trabzonspor in deal understood to be worth just short of £3 million per year.

Sturridge began his career at Manchester City before joining Chelsea on a free transfer in 2009, where he stayed until January 2013 before joining Liverpool.

The England striker has two Champions League medals from his time with Chelsea and Liverpool as well as a Premier League title while at Stamford Bridge.
