Liverpool make Chelsea striker Sturridge top January target

Liverpool are ready to raid Chelsea for young striker Danny Sturridge.

The Sunday Mirror says the Anfield regime are looking to invest in the best young British players.

Sturridge is their top target, who has told Chelsea he wants to go to Liverpool on loan after making just two league starts in two seasons at Stamford Bridge.

Anfield chairman Tom Werner and supremo John Henry believe the best way forward is to land rising stars, a policy that was begun when Kenny Dalglish took a hand to recruit Raheem Sterling from QPR and Charlton's Jonjo Shelvey.

The review of Liverpool's spending tactics under Rafa Benitez proved to the Kop chiefs that they had to get back to the 'old' Anfield ways of finding domestic talent and bringing them through.
