West Ham United are reportedly plotting an £18million swoop for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

Sturridge has been plagued by injuries this campaign, limiting him to just six appearances in all competitions for the Reds.

The Brentwood Gazette is reporting Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has grown frustrated with the forward's unavailability and may consider sanctioning Sturridge's move to Upton Park, provided the Hammers meet their valuation of the England international.

However, the Reds are understood to have placed a £25million price tag on Sturridge, leaving West Ham's current bid £7million short of the mark.
