Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is ready to listen to offers from West Ham this summer
Slaven Bilic preparing summer swoop for England international as his Anfield future looks bleak
DANIEL STURRIDGE will listen to offers from West Ham this summer.
The Liverpool striker has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield and has not started a Premier League game since the start of November.
He has told pals the Hammers could be an option come the end of the season when Jurgen Klopp reshapes his squad.
Slaven Bilic’s side could offer regular first-team football and a platform for Sturridge, 27, to be England’s No 1 forward like he was under Roy Hodgson.
Klopp is planning on a busy summer in the transfer market.

Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand is an ambitious target for the Kop boss, who is ready to compete with big clubs for the Three Lions international.
Klopp said: “Liverpool is a really interesting project for players.
“It’s a young team, it’s a fantastic club, and a good situation where we really can see the progress.
“So I’d say together with Tottenham, the average age of the team is such there’s still a lot to come.
“We feel in a good way and if a player wants to be part, then it is easier to make this decision this year than last year.
“The talks we’ve had so far are very positive.”
