West Ham are favourites to land Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

The Sunday Express says Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is ready to off load the injury prone hit man when the transfer window opens to make room for his own signings.

West Ham have been looking for a big name striker since the end of last season and failed with an attempt to sign AC Milan's Carlo Bacca.

While Simone Zaza has failed to catch alight since his loan move from Juventus and is set join Spanish side Valencia in January.

Sturridge, 27, has spent the last three seasons at Anfield after starting his career at Manchester City before a stint in the capital with Chelsea.

And he looks likely to be off on his travels again despite the fact that Liverpool are in the running for the Premier League title.
