Adam Lallana - Sturidge is world class he is good as signing two players

Sturridge have his best to give this season says team mate Adam Lallana.

Lallana predicts a ‘massive’ year for Daniel Sturridge who has looked fitter, sharper and as hungry as ever during the warm-up games. Most significantly, the England striker has featured in all Jurgen Klopp’s energy-sapping sessions – the Liverpool manager had his players train three times in a day before their latest tour win on Saturday.

“Listen, Studge has been absolutely brilliant in pre-season so far. You couldn’t put a price on him,” said Lallana, noting the extravagant fees and valuations elsewhere and purring at what Sturridge’s finishing is worth.

“He is a world class player. He has come back from the summer looking absolutely brilliant, so fit. He is going to be a massive player for us this season. I can feel it.

“He is looking really sharp and to have him firing on all cylinders would be like having two new signings if we can keep on the pitch and get him scoring goals.”
