Chelsea attacker Daniel Sturridge states he would prefer to play as a central striker rather than a wideman. The 22-year-old has been an important player for the Blues this campaign and has been deployed mainly as a winger.
"If I'm playing, I can't complain about which position. As long as I'm starting, that's what matters most.
"I've grown up a lot since I first joined Chelsea. I've got a lot more experience and belief in myself."
Sturridge also added that he draws inspiration from French legend Thierry Henry.
"I definitely think playing out wide will improve me," he enthused.
"Henry played wide for Juventus and then went to Arsenal and played as a centre-forward.
"Wenger knew he was a centre-forward before he joined, and when he went there, his game went up so high.
"He's an example of one player I look at and think when I get back in the middle - and it's only a matter of time - then I will be a lot better than previously.
"Fitness-wise, it helps you so much playing on the wing as it's a completely different job - you do a lot more runs than you do up front." "I do still see myself as a striker but I am doing a job for the team and I'm enjoying doing it," said Sturridge.
