Daniel Sturridge was predicted to be one of the most clinical strikers in Premier League history.
Since leaving Liverpool in 2019, his career has waned, with problems on and off the pitch.
Which clubs has Sturridge played for?
Daniel Sturridge first became known as a graduate of Manchester City's academy.
He has previously been part of the youth teams at Aston Villa and Coventry City.
After making his first-team debut in 2007, he ended up making 32 appearances and scoring six times.
He signed for Chelsea in 2009 after his contract with Manchester City expired, but struggled to find regular first-team football at the London club.
This was partly due to the sheer amount of attacking talent the Blues had in their squad, including Didier Drogba and Nicholas Anelka.
After winning the Premier League and FA Cup in his first season, Sturridge joined Bolton on loan until the end of the 2010/11 campaign.
The move proved successful, with the striker scoring eight goals in just 12 appearances as he helped them escape relegation to the Championship.
Sturridge returned to Chelsea for the following season, but despite getting regular game time, rarely played in his preferred position, often finding himself on the wing.
He won the Champions League and FA Cup with Chelsea in what was his best season for the club, scoring 13 goals in 43 appearances.
The 2012/13 season saw him move to Liverpool in the January transfer window after again finding opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge.
He quickly formed a fruitful partnership with Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez and together they took Liverpool to second place in the league, two points off the title.
The pair combined to score 52 goals that season, with Sturridge scoring 21 and providing seven assists.
However, that was as good as it got for the Englishman, who struggled badly with injuries for the rest of his time at the club.
He struggled for game time under Jurgen Klopp, who used him sparingly due to his fitness issues.
This eventually led to a loan move to West Bromwich Albion in January 2018, where he struggled to make an impact and the team was relegated. He returned to Liverpool at the end of the season.
After winning his second Champions League medal in 2019, Sturridge was released by the Merseyside club.
The Birmingham-born striker made 26 appearances for England, scoring eight times, including a World Cup and a European Championship.
What happened to the former Liverpool striker?
He joined Turkish side Trabzonspor on a free transfer in 2019, where he made sixteen appearances, scoring on seven occasions.
He was released in March 2020 by mutual agreement, and on the same day received a four-month ban for breaching betting rules.
Where is Daniel Sturridge now?
After spending 18 months without a club, Sturridge signed for Australian A-League side Perth Glory in November 2021.
The move was unsuccessful, with Sturridge making just six appearances before being released in 2022.
He is currently without a club. /Telegrafi/
