Exclusive: Liverpool legend claims this is what Daniel Sturridge really thinks about exit
JOHN BARNES believes Daniel Sturridge’s return from injury will quash any talk of his move away from Liverpool.
Sturridge started last Thursday against Augsburg and missed a great chance to give his side the lead
Jurgen Klopp publicly criticised Sturridge's attitude towards his injury problems which sparked a flurry of speculation earlier this month that the striker was looking to leave Liverpool to reignite his career.
But now he is fit and scoring goals again, Barnes is convinced he will stay at Anfield.
"Sturridge was huge in Liverpool's 6-0 win over Villa and he scored and you can see how important he is," Barnes told Express Sport.
“He’s very important to Liverpool and I’d be very surprised if he goes anywhere.”
John Barnes alongside Capital One will be helping fans make ‘the difference’ at the Capital One Cup Final at Wembley on Sunday, February 28.
