Betting company Betway have taken action after Daniel Sturridge was hit with an FA ban for breaching betting regulations.

The ban was handed down regarding a potential transfer involving him leaving Liverpool, reports the Mirror.

Betway is removing odds on transfers and is calling on other gambling firms to follow suit.

It comes after two high-profile cases which saw former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge banned for four months after breaking strict Football Association rules on gambling after a series of bets were placed in January 2018 on a potential transfer when he left Anfield.

The FA has also charged England full back Kieran Trippier who did not place a bet himself but blamed some light-hearted banter with some close friends on a series of bets being placed on him joining Atletico Madrid last summer.

Trippier has pleaded his innocence, promised to clear his name and has until next week to respond to the FA charge. The ex-Spurs full back could face a lengthy fine and hefty ban if found guilty.
