Babb expects Liverpool to sell Sturridge

Former Liverpool defender Phil Babb expects Daniel Sturridge to be sold this summer.

The England international has started just six of his 14 Premier League outings, in which he's found the back of the net just twice.

"I think he's coming to the end of his tenure at Liverpool," Babb told Sky Sports.

"(Jurgen) Klopp wants a different type of striker - someone he can rely on from a physical point of view.

"He's a phenomenal talent around the goal and in the penalty box. But he's been laden with injuries season after season.

"He hasn't played enough games but his goals to games ratio is fantastic."
