It would be no big surprise if Daniel Sturridge leaves Liverpool this summer.
The striker has dropped down the pecking order over the last few seasons.
That has been in part due to injury problems and also because he does not naturally fit into Jurgen Klopp’s system.
[brid autoplay=”true” video=”257647″ player=”12034″ title=”Three reasons we love to hate… Brazil and Argentina”]
The 28-year-old was sent on loan to West Bromwich Albion for the second half of last season, but he failed to revive his career due to another injury blow.
Sturridge has since returned to Anfield, but not many envisage that he will be at the Merseyside outfit for much longer.

In truth, the striker could do with a change of scenery in a bid to force his way into regular contention, and also to get his England career back up and running.
The hitman has earned 26 caps for his country, but he failed to make it into Gareth Southgate’s squad for Russia 2018.
A report from Goal.com has claimed that Liverpool have not yet received any formal offers for Sturridge, whose price tag is set at £15m.

Jurgen Klopp is the man of the moment on Merseyside at the moment. Liverpool currently sit third in the Premier League and everything seems to be going right – even previously under fire forward Sadio Mane is in fine form having netted a hat trick in the rout of Porto in the Champions League last 16 last week.
West Ham, meanwhile, have also seen one of their strikers resurrected with Marko Arnautovic on a rich vein of form after a difficult start to life at the East London club.
The Hammers need a victory in this one, but may struggle at the back with Winston Reid questionable to play tomorrow with a throat infection and Arthur Masuaku handed a punitive six-game suspension for spitting.
Here’s what our writers think will happen at Anfield this weekend:
Christy Malyan
Liverpool all day for me. Yes the Reds have a knack of losing focus in these kinds of games, but West Ham are still sticking a few square pegs in rounds holes and the honeymoon period under David Moyes has come to an end.
That’s not to say the Hammers are in a rut – they won last time out – but I don’t see quite the same level of determination as when they beat Chelsea, for example, earlier in the season. Likewise, Liverpool’s attack is firing on all cylinders at the moment.

Chris McMullan
Liverpool are on fire, but there’s always a high chance they get snuffed out before they get going. West Ham, under David Moyes, are adept at frustrating the big boys. Given Liverpool’s propensity to go from the ultimate high – winning 5-0 in the Champions League – to a frustrating low, I think the Hammers will nick a point. Watch out for a Pablo Zabaleta-inspired feat of defensive heroism.
Charlie Coe
Liverpool win. West Ham will struggle defensively in this one, especially if Liverpool’s on-fire forwards find a way to get in behind the Hammers’ back three.

The Reds have almost as much to play for as West Ham, with an automatic Champions League spot still up for grabs, and have more firepower to get it done.
Chelsea, for much of last season, were in the running for the Premier League title. However they fell short, with manager Jose Mourinho pointing his finger at his misfiring strikers.
Fernando Torres, Demba Ba, and Samuel Eto’o managed just 19 league goals combined last season, only five more than top scoring winger Eden Hazard.
It just isn’t good enough, and after a long wait the Blues have finally confirmed the capture of Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa… who scored 27 goals in La Liga all by himself.
Now expected to lead the line at Stamford Bridge, is Costa the missing piece to Mourinho’s title-winning side?
Here are FIVE REASONS to be excited about Chelsea signing Diego Costa.

[/ffc-gallery]
5. Obviously, Diego Costa scores goals
//www.youtube.com/embed/u42-Cth6CoE
Costa was brought into the squad by Mourinho to score goals. And he is extremely good at it.
The striker is capable of scoring in all kinds of positions, but is known for his movement to find space inside the box. Important games, domestic cups… Costa will find the net on a regular basis.
Watch Costa do what he does best in the video above.
4. He creates space for others
Not only will Costa score goals, but his presence will pull markers away from his team-mates.
Although Costa was Atletico’s main goal-scorer, the Madrid side had plenty around him that put in a few of their own. Raul Garcia and David Villa scored 17 and 15 respectively, and this is one of the main reasons Atletico went on to win the Spanish La Liga.
Now with a goal-scoring midfielder in Cesc Fabregas at Chelsea, expect the rest of the Blues to score much more than they did last season.
3. Costa can handle physicality of the Premier League
Unlike many players signed from Spain, Costa is a striker that plays to his physical strengths.
Teams like West Ham United and Stoke City are known for their tough defensive stance, and much more diminutive players struggle against the Premier League’s much more resilient sides.
However Costa can cope with their physicality, offering the presence that has been missing ever since Didier Drogba left the club back in 2012.
2. He is not yet in his prime
Although £32million sounds like a lot, it is nowhere near the amount for strikers in a now very inflated transfer market.

Luis Suarez – albeit all round a better player – only scored four more league goals than Costa but cost more than double the Spaniard, making Costa’s purchase extremely reasonable.
However what makes it even better is Costa’s age. At just 25 years old, Mourinho still has time to mould him into an even better striker… one that could finally replace Drogba and become the new star of the English Premier League.
1. Diego Costa will change the way Chelsea play
One of the main criticisms about Chelsea last season – apart from their lack of goals – is that the Blues were a very ‘reactive team’, not playing in their own style and forcing the issue on their opponents.
This would see Chelsea look extremely comfortable when playing the top sides, but tend to struggle against weaker opponents. But with Costa now leading the line, Chelsea finally have a striker capable of breaking down stubborn defences.
Mourinho is a coach that likes players to play a certain way, and Costa has been firmly on the ‘Special One’s transfer wish-list for some time. Now that he has captured his man, Premier League defences will be trembling in their shoes.
Liverpool are preparing a bid for Dutch international striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar after it was revealed the Schalke 04 striker may be available for a bargain £6m.
According to the Sunday People, Brendon Rodgers is planning to take advantage of his current contract dispute with the German club to try and bring the clinical striker to Anfield.
Rodgers has earmarked Huntelaar as the perfect solution to their present lack of firepower with only Luis Suarez, the only fit, recognised, centre-forward at the club. However Liverpool may face strong competition for his signature from a whole host of rival Premier League clubs with Manchester City, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea all also reportedly interested in his services.
Reports suggest that the 29-year-old would prefer to join a club heading for the Champions League and given their slow start it seems unlikely that Liverpool will be joining the European elite next season. Although he is eager to experience playing in the Premier League and has recently confirmed he will join a club that has a ‘right feeling’ about it.
The Netherlands striker already has an bulging CV after spending time at Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan before making the move to the Bundesliga. While he struggled to find form at both Milan and Madrid, his record in Germany has been excellent with 71 goals for club and country since the beginning of the 2010/11 season.

He will get another chance to impress watching Premier League scouts when Schalke entertain Arsenal on Tuesday night in the Champions League.
According to reports in The Times, Chelsea are keen to sign Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, rated at £81m by Transfermarkt, this summer but their failure to make a decision on Antonio Conte’s future is holding any potential deal up, and Newcastle United should be watching developments closely.
What’s the word, then?
Well, The Times says that while the Blues are targeting a summer move for Lewandowski, the Poland international – who is currently away with his country at the 2018 World Cup – has expressed reservations about making a move to Stamford Bridge while the west London outfit’s managerial situation is unclear.
The Times says that while the club are expected to sack Antonio Conte following a miserable defence of their 2017 Premier League title that saw them miss out on Champions League qualification, they have yet to agree a severance package with the Italian that could cost them over £10m if the 48-year-old fails to take another job in the following 12 months.
[ad_pod ]
The report adds that Napoli are also demanding compensation for Chelsea’s top managerial target Maurizio Sarri, which has held up any potential negotiations over a deal for Lewandowski, who scored 41 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions for Bayern last term.
Why should Newcastle be monitoring developments?
Well, Magpies manager Rafa Benitez will surely have made bringing a new striker to St James’ Park this summer a priority with his team netting just 39 goals in their 38 Premier League fixtures during the 2017/18 campaign, with Aleksandar Mitrovic expected to leave and Joselu and Dwight Gayle often failing to fire.
One of his top targets if Chelsea sign Lewandowski could well be Michy Batshuayi, who would surely drop even further down the pecking order if the Polish marksman arrived at Stamford Bridge.
Conte certainly hasn’t fancied the Belgian and sent him on loan to Borussia Dortmund in the second-half of last season, where he showed the quality he has with nine goals in 14 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit, taking his tally for the season to 21.

The centre-forward would be a brilliant signing for the Tyneside outfit and the fans, who have been quick to react on Twitter to a possible return to St James’ Park for a former attacker, and would help them improve upon their impressive 10th-place finish last time out.

Liverpool weren’t at their best against Tottenham on Sunday evening, and they should still have come away with the victory given they scored in injury time to put themselves ahead.
It wasn’t to be, however, with a controversial penalty taking victory from their grasp. Any cold and calculated assessment of the game would have to conclude that Jurgen Klopp’s side were perhaps deserving of little more than a point on the balance of play, however.
As the home team, Liverpool struggled to see much of the ball against a Spurs side who dominated possession. That partly has to do with the styles of play imposed by both teams, but it also has a little to do with the fact that the Reds scored early through Mohamed Salah and were happy to play on the break after that.
Still, a midfield trio of Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and James Milner was unable to really stamp its authority on the game.
A quick glance at James Milner’s stats proves it.
His 41 touches of the ball is just one more than Dejan Lovren, who managed 40 from centre back in a game where Liverpool’s defenders were hardly involved in recycling play against a deep-seated opposition. No, Liverpool’s midfield were simply overrun.
What Milner did do, however, was tidy. He completed 83% of his passes – the highest of any Liverpool player and much higher than his side’s overall average of just 68% – and he even played one key pass before being taken off. As a central midfielder in a top six Premier League clash which finished 2-2, though, you might have expected Milner to be more involved.

Jurgen Klopp will say his side were robbed by poor officiating, others will argue that Liverpool should have won given they retook the lead so late in the game. In the end, though, their midfield simply couldn’t live with Tottenham’s. And that’s the most worrying part ahead of the return of the Champions League this month.
For once, the rumours linking Cesc Fabregas with a move back to England (or away from Barcelona) look to have legs.
This has been a terrible season for Barcelona. Had they won the league title on Saturday over Atletico Madrid, it would have been the most underserved title win in recent memory across any of the major leagues.
It wasn’t just that the team played poorly under Tata Martino, it’s a long-running list of errors from top to bottom. The treatment of Eric Abidal; the signing of Neymar and the intimation by then-president Sandro Rosell that the Brazilian was to usurp Lionel Messi as the club’s top dog; the subsequent investigation into Neymar’s transfer fee that led to Rosell’s resignation; the constant overlooking of a centre-back addition in favour of a forward who wasn’t actually needed; the negligence at allowing Thiago Alcantara to leave for Bayern Munich; the hiring of a manager who had little to no understanding of Barcelona as a whole and took too far a leap from the style of football on display at the Camp Nou over the past decade.
It’s natural, then, that changes are to take place. Cesc Fabregas, Alexis, Pedro, and Dani Alves have been the major names touted as departures from the club this summer.
Alves has been poor by his standards and you have to believe that he is now on the decline as a player. Alexis had a surprisingly good season, and it’s therefore odd that the club wouldn’t want to keep him, or least one of him or Pedro. And Fabregas has never looked at home at the Camp Nou. His return to Catalonia was described as a homecoming for the former Arsenal captain, but in truth Spain has just looked like an extended holiday, a familiar environment with all the necessary comforts but no match for the real thing.
A return to Arsenal doesn’t make sense for the club – at least on face value. Aaron Ramsey is a player reborn, and provided he can stay healthy for much of next season, he’ll be a pivotal figure in the centre of midfield. Jack Wilshere still has promise and could also turn a corner in the near future. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been tipped by Arsene Wenger to eventually end up in the middle of the park as opposed to on the flank. And the club have two fantastic No.10s in Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla. Not to mention the fact the team are in desperate need for a high-end holding midfielder.
The only thing fuelling a discussion of Cesc back to Arsenal is sentimentality and romance.
But that’s wrong. There is a real need for someone like Fabregas. Laid out plainly, in sports if the opportunity comes up to land a player of that quality – and Fabregas was the best midfielder in the Premier League for much of his time in this country – you take it. It’s comparable to the draft system in the US: if you’re given the number one pick, you take the best player, rather than the guy who will fill your most obvious void. Worry about that void later.
Of course, it’s not exactly the same in football. Money is involved. You would end up paying twice as much on the star player (Fabregas) and the player to fill the gap (in Arsenal’s case, a holding midfielder).
Yet people are taking on far too much of a simplistic view in the event Arsenal land Fabregas by asking where he’d play. Arsenal compete on four fronts, there’s a potential to total around 60 games over the course of the season, and last year’s title challenge was derailed by yet another injury crisis. At the time, fans bemoaned the lack of quality behind Ramsey, Ozil and Walcott. Why not cover your back by buying quality players if they become available? There’s no way it can be argued that buying a player like Fabregas would hurt Arsenal’s chances of silverware next season.
Bayern Munich have the strongest squad in Europe, quite comfortably. Their midfield consists of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, Toni Kroos, Thiago Alcantara, Mario Goetze, Thomas Muller, and Philipp Lahm – and that’s excluding the natural wide players. There’s a reason they steamrolled the Bundesliga in record time and recently added the German Cup to this season’s haul. Arsenal aren’t a patch on that kind of squad, so why is there so much hesitation about building a team as good as that?
Fabregas, provided he arrives, wouldn’t play every game. Ramsey wouldn’t play every game. Nor would Wilshere or Oxlade-Chamberlain, and that’s exactly what’s needed at this club. Bayern Munich didn’t falter in the Champions League because they were running on empty. There was a lot of criticism for Pep Guardiola and the tactics used, but at no point did the problem of fatigue come up.

At roughly £32 million, Fabregas is a steal. Think about the kind of players who were recently bought for either similar money or more. Isco cost Real Madrid £26 million last summer; Asier Illarramendi was also in that ballpark. Think of the players PSG have bought, and those of Zenit. Lucas Moura £35 million, Javier Pastore £36 million, Hulk £48 million, Axel Witsel £35 million.
Fabregas will make Arsenal better. If the money is there – and we’ve long been told it is – Arsenal should do it.
It feels as if a small lifetime has passed in the respective quests of both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, to find a solution to their stadium capacity woes. Both clubs have endured relatively painful legislative sagas as they’ve sought to develop a blueprint to maximize matchday revenue; no doubt spurred on by having to sit back and watch their fiercest rivals turn their own home grounds into Premier League cash cows.
But as Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre announced plans to renege on building a new stadium in favour of redeveloping Anfield, there have been some in the white half of North London, that have been left scratching their heads. Both clubs have been entrenched in the financial mire of getting stadia projects, estimated to cost in the region of £300-£400milion plus, off the ground and bricks and mortar finally lay.
Yet all of a sudden, Liverpool appear to have saved themselves half the financial burden, with a more modest redevelopment of Anfield harnessing a price tag of around £150million. It’s a development that will bring The Red’s a similar number of seats as what the new White Hart Lane will. The difference being, Spurs are still looking to tie up a private funding package for the development during the worst economic downturn in recent memory – for over double the money.
This has led some to ask the question as to why Spurs can’t go down a similar route? If Liverpool can shave off half the money needed to increase the capacity, then why can’t Spurs? Although it’s a fair question to ask – and at one point in the last decade, a highly relevant one too – the fact is that it just isn’t as simple as knocking up a new stand at White Hart Lane. Each case must be judged on it’s own merits and although there are similarities between Spurs and Liverpool’s stadia headaches, there are huge differences to.
None more so, than the fact Spurs are edging oh so close to the finishing line of getting their expansive Northumberland Development Project off the ground.
But first of all, we’ll look at the scope that Tottenham Hotspur could have, theoretically, if they chose to dispose with their grand new stadium plans and push on with a Liverpool style redevelopment.
It’s important to note that while Spurs’ new plans are by technicality, a redevelopment, it is in essence, a completely new stadium in an almost identical, yet slightly altered footprint
With a very haphazard and cautious estimate of the current White Hart Lane, you could probably make a case that three of it’s four stands, would have the capacity for some kind of redevelopment. On the premise that the bulk of the NDP is set to be built on the industrial area to the back of Paxton Road, you could safely assume that the North Stand has plenty of room for elaborate development. The West Stand on the High Road has a fair area of space behind it, incorporating a small car park, which you would have thought would offer room for some form of expansion.
Perhaps ultimately, the only stand that couldn’t be developed would be the South Stand. Indeed, towards the end of the Alan Sugar reign, Spurs were granted preliminary planning permission to redevelop the East Stand, in a move that would have increased capacity to 44,000. It is maybe only the South Stand that would face some severe issues, given the proximity to houses down Park Lane – an issue that Liverpool have similarly faced with housing down Lothair Road behind their main stand.
But for Spurs, it isn’t as black as white as just knocking down the stands one by one and starting again. With Liverpool, although we are yet to see stonewall architectural plans, the crux is that they already have boast a capacity of 45,276. As Ayre said, they don’t need to be paying £300million to increase stadium capacity by 15,000. Spurs are looking to expand by near on 20,000 with potentially the scope for a little bit more. The grander the size, the harder it becomes.
Because although an estimated £400million for the NDP may seem an astonishing figure, for the price it could cost the club redeveloping White Hart Lane stand-by-stand, it makes no sense to not go through with it.
For example, by choosing to resurrect the Worcester Avenue plans, Tottenham would have to kiss goodbye to the matchday revenue that the 10,691 capacity stand brings every week, during the duration of the works. If we go with a very general bracket of 12-18 months construction time at a time, the club would have to live with a huge loss in revenue while paying out for the works; of which you couldn’t guarantee would be covered by a lucrative naming rights deal.

The beauty of the NDP is that Spurs can stay in White Hart Lane, for the majority of the works, ensuring they don’t suffer a loss in revenue as they would do by redeveloping the stands individually. Plus when they do move in to their new home (which will be three-quarters built around the old ground) it will still , in theory, offer a greater matchday revenue than what they receive at the moment, while the old White Hart Lane is demolished.
Furthermore, the issue of finance would be a real issue. Phase one of the NDP, which encompasses the construction of a huge supermarket development, is under way, and the proceeds of what they will receive from the incumbents (Sainsbury’s), will go straight towards paying for the new ground. Furthermore, the club’s income will be boosted by the sale of housing and commercial space in phase three of the development, which will again, help fund the stadium. None of this would be possible if Spurs went down the Liverpool route- let alone the potential lack of scope to develop the all important hospitality space.
The notion of redeveloping White Hart Lane in its current guise is a romantic one, but while it may work for Liverpool, it simply won’t work for Tottenham. It may seem like just another acronym, but the Northumberland Development Project means so much more both the area and the prospect of financing, than just a shiny new stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur are yet to secure any new signings this summer, but they have been linked to a handful of wingers.
Mauricio Pochettino is blessed up front given that he has Harry Kane leading the way.
In addition, the left side of the midfield and attack is in safe hands, but there are questions regarding the other side of the pitch.
Erik Lamela had a torrid year-long spell on the sidelines with hip problems, eventually making his comeback in October 2017.
[brid autoplay=”true” video=”252976″ player=”12034″ title=”Watch 21 things that will definitely happen at the World Cup”]
The Argentine – valued at £18m by Transfermarkt – went on to feature 33 times in all competitions, but he started just seven Premier League matches.
Lucas Moura was bought by Pochettino in January from Paris Saint-Germain, but he is yet to establish himself as a regular member of the team having been included in the first XI only five times in all competitions.

Lamela has received support from plenty of Tottenham fans over the course of his comeback, but in order for the club to progress, should they be recruiting a new winger?
While Sam Allardyce’s arrival initially provided the bounce Everton needed to get their relegation-threatened campaign back on track, the Toffees’ recent performances under the former England gaffer have been far less convincing.
Everton have failed to win their last seven games across all competitions, losing four and scoring just three goals.
Indeed, the Allardyce revolution at Goodison has hit a sizeable stumbling block and coincidentally, the manager Everton seemingly wanted ahead of Big Sam – Marco Silva – has now become available after being sacked by Watford, who actually blame the Portuguese’s dismissal on the Toffees’ interest in his services earlier in the campaign.
So, Everton fans, how should your club respond to this situation? Have they simply put too much faith in Allardyce already, having spent around £47million on new signings this month, or should they switch horses with a shock swoop for the 40-year-old? Let us know by voting below…
