West Ham have been handed a huge boost ahead of the January transfer window amidst reports that a striking target of theirs will be allowed to seal a transfer in the mid-season window.
The Sun states Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has informed experienced striker Daniel Sturridge that he can leave the club in January, with the former Manchester City and Chelsea striker seeking first-team opportunities ahead of the World Cup this summer.
Sturridge has found himself behind both Roberto Firmino and Dominic Solanke in the club’s pecking order this season, putting his hopes of making Gareth Southgate’s England squad in real danger.
The 28-year-old has struggled in recent seasons through injuries but is aiming to turn a corner and could find better fortunes in East London, with a Hammers side who need attacking reinforcements.
David Moyes’ side are yet to find a consistent striker in their side, with summer signing Javier Hernandez having recently endured an injury problem, and Sturridge may provide the boost that they’re looking for.
