Daniel Sturridge has posted a farewell to Liverpool after manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed his release this week.

Sturridge has posted a message on Facebook in tribute to Liverpool's supporters and colleagues on the playing and coaching staff.

"What can I say... It's been one hell of a ride at this beautiful club," he said. "We were together for seven seasons and took a lil break in between.

"We had a lot of high and lows together but through it all remained together knowing that one day we'd have to break up. That time is now...

"I wanna say to the fans I love y'all. You made me feel so welcome and embraced me with open arms. The Sturridge dance became famous at Anfield and I'll never forget the first time I did it in front of the Kop.

"To my team-mates old and new, thank you for the memories - the banter was unreal. You all played a part in making me the man I am today. This isn't a goodbye (be)cause Lord knows we'll stay in touch no matter where I am so speak soon.

"To the current group of players just letting you know that Sturr crazy sauces will still be available next season so don't stress yourselves out the lucky sauce will be back.

"To the coaching staff thank you for everything pushing me to my limits in every aspect to become the best I can be - that goes for both old and new. Special shoutout to the managers Jurgen and Brendan for guiding my steps and helping me be the best I can be."
