Bolton goal hero Sturridge eyeing Chelsea first team

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has his eyes firmly set on a first team position when he returns to the club next season.

The 20-year old has scored six goals in eight appearances whilst on loan for Bolton and he plans to take that form back to Stamford Bridge with him to force himself into the Blues line-up.

"I hope [my future is at Chelsea]. When I go back there I'll have three years left but it's obviously up to the club," he told talkSPORT.

"I'm just enjoying my football at the moment, trying to play regularly, and I want to play regular first-team football.

"If I can play first-team football at Chelsea then great but I don't really want to be on the bench because I enjoy playing from the beginning.

"It's difficult coming in and playing the odd game for Chelsea because there's a lot of pressure.

"It's a huge club so to not start week in week out and play one game in six or seven there's not only pressure from other people but you put pressure on yourself because you want to do so well, to try and prove that you're good enough to play."
