Daniel Sturridge gets his World Cup move after falling out of favour under manager, Jurgen Klopp. West Brom has a really threat in Sturridge, but will he stay injury-free?

Certainly not the best move for a player with loads of talent and a sensation to watch when in form. Daniel Sturridge needed this move, more than what he wanted it to happen.

It came at no surprise as the player was set to leave the Anfield outfit. There was a number of clubs in for Daniel – who are in far better positions than the Baggies.

One club that can be mentioned is Spanish outfit, Sevilla. They looked to be the best suitors and almost certain to get the forward. But nothing materialised and Sturridge opted to go a step down, probably guaranteeing him a regular start.

That’s in his mind, yes!

A bit of an easy move – to be going in search of a new club, although he’s at a club who can offer the best stage in football. This probably displays the faith lost in the player by the manager.

What Daniel Sturridge needs to do:

Firstly, stay fit and stay fit for as long as eight months (World Cup included). I would say this is a short amount of months for any player to stay fit. Yet, for Sturridge it’s actually a lifetime.

He was more injured than he was available for the Reds, and really proved a sore loss for the Reds when missing. The switch could be just what he needed and could be the stimulation for him to get back to his best.

A fresh start to a career injury-plagued and filled with lengthily spells on the sideline. This World Cup push will be based on good fortune and the player who led Liverpool to an almost title – needs to take to the pitch.
