Sturridge insists no Chelsea strop over being played out of position

Danny Sturridge insists he won't throw a wobbler over being played out of position at Chelsea.

It was mooted the youngster would seek a move away after failing to establish as a striker this season.

But Sturridge said: "If I keep playing out wide for Chelsea, I'm not going to argue with anyone. I've been doing that role for the past six months.

"I'll continue doing that and giving my all. Hopefully at the end of the season I'll be sitting on the plane with the England players heading out to the European Championship and Chelsea will have won trophies. That's what matters.

"I still see myself as a striker but I've learned a lot playing in a new position. I'm doing a job for the team and I'm enjoying it.

"I'm playing and that's what matters. If I'm playing I don't mind which position I play. As long as I'm starting games I'm happy. That's what matters most."
