Liverpool legend Carra: Sturridge perfect striker

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has no doubts about Danny Sturridge performing for England in the World Cup.

Carra rates Sturridge as the "perfect" striker.

"He's a great finisher - people don't talk about that enough," Carra said in LFCTV's 'World Stars' series.

"His finishing ability is second to none. He's got pace, he's got strength - he's the modern striker. He can play wide, he can play off the front and he can play up top.

"The modern striker can't just be someone who stays up front, looking to score a goal and that's all he does. The modern player has got to move about and bring a lot more to his game.

"I think Daniel Sturridge is the perfect type. I think, this season, Sturridge has been the best attacking player England have got."
