Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge recently sent a subtle “come get me” plea to clubs looking for a striker as he celebrated his birthday.

In his Instagram message, also, the former Liverpool striker also seemed to be ‘advertising’ himself for any club that would be interested in him.
“Year 32. More motivated than I've ever been in my life to be successful. Older, wiser and fit as a fiddle. God is good,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Thanks everyone for the birthday messages. Means a lot.”
Sturridge has been without a club for well over 18 months since his stint in Turkey with Trabzonspor.
His Instagram post was met with responses from former teammates including Adam Lallana, Jordan Henderson Georginio Wijnaldum, and Dejan Lovren.
He recently rolled back the years when he met with Jordan Henderson and the pair trained together during pre-season in Spain.
The last club he played for – Trabzonspor – terminated his contract, months after signing him despite the fact that he managed an impressive seven goals and three assists in 16 matches.
