Liverpool transfer news: ‘His body language is a disgrace’ - Jurgen Klopp urged to axe ace
LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp has been urged to sell Daniel Sturridge.

The England international has found first-team football hard to come by ever since Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers as manager in October 2015.
Sturridge was loaned out to West Brom last January in a bid to regain his fitness and prove himself worthy of a place in the Liverpool squad.
However, his time at the Hawthorns was blighted by injury and he only ended up making 12 appearances for the Baggies.
The 29-year-old has just featured 18 times for the Reds this season, with the majority of those appearances coming from the bench.
Despite his lack of football, numerous clubs have been linked with moves for the former Manchester City and Chelsea hitman - most notably West Ham.
And former Everton, Brighton and Portsmouth striker Warren Aspinall believes it’s high time the Merseysiders get rid of the forward, who he reckons has shown disgraceful body language in recent years.
"Sturridge - if I was the chairman - I'd get him off the wage bill," the BBC Sussex commentator said on the Albion Unlimited podcast.
"I think sometimes his body language is a disgrace, sometimes he's lazy, and not really a Liverpool player since this manager's taken over."

Sturridge’s last start came in Liverpool’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Wolves earlier this month.
The Birmingham native failed to impress at Molineux and was lambasted for his performance by Premier Legaue legend Alan Shearer.
"Playing as individuals. No movement, flat, no energy. I can’t even see they’ve had a sweat on. They’ve offered nothing whatsoever,” Shearer said of Sturridge and Divock Origi.
"Klopp should be going berserk at them, in particular, at half time.

“If Klopp put them in the shop window, no one will buy them.”
Liverpool will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, welcoming Crystal Palace to Anfield.
The Reds currently sit at the top of the Premier League table and lead reining champions Manchester City four points.
