Liverpool round-up: Sturridge could leave; West Ham youngster tracked; Bundesliga star rejected move
🐻Despite making a return to training after a spell on the sidelines with a virus, Jurgen Klopp did little to calm speculation linking Daniel Sturridge with a move away from the club in the summer as he told the press, as quoted by the :
ꦐ“I have no idea what happens in the summer. It is not only Daniel but a lot of players… We have to bring him back to the best shape possible and then bring this season to an end as successfully as possible. Then we will make decisions and speak about Daniel and any other players about what will happen at the end of the season. A lot of things will influence this and we can speak about it when it is time.”
🍬The England international has failed to nail down a regular starting spot this season with injuries once again proving disruptive to his progress, with the striker only having recorded two Premier League goals so far this season.
🍌If sold, the club may use the money from the sale of Sturridge to fund a move for West Ham prodigy Ajibola Alese as they seek to secure his services on a professional contract at Anfield instead of with the Hammers, say the . The 16-year-old defender has caught the eye of Slaven Bilic and is in the frame to feature for the club’s under 23s side.
𝐆The England under 16 captain is also being tracked by Manchester City but the Irons are hugely reluctant to allow him to leave and hope to tie down the defender as they did with Reece Oxford when he attracted plaudits at a young age.
ꩵAnother young talent who could have joined the club is Ousmane Dembele, who opted to join Borussia Dortmund over Liverpool in the summer as he told :
▨“I saw Klopp in Paris but I told him I’d made up my mind to sign for BVB.”
💧The 19-year-old headed to Germany from Stade Rennais for a fee worth £12.75 million and has since lit up the Bundesliga with his fine form on the wing, creating 14 assists and scoring six goals in 32 games this season.
