EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal eye Sturridge as Chelsea star grows weary of wide role


Chelsea face a battle to keep Daniel Sturridge after Arsenal took significant steps towards a shock summer swoop.
Sturridge, 22, is the Blues’ top-scoring forward this season with 10 goals, but sources close to the player claim he is not happy with his role as a right winger under Andre Villas-Boas.
And Arsenal’s influential chief scout Steve Rowley has put the wheels in motion to effect a surprise switch.

Sturridge wants to negotiate an improved contract, yet Chelsea are unwilling to do so as he still has two-and-a-half years left on his current deal.
And with the likes of Hulk and Edinson Cavani on Villas-Boas’ shopping list, Sturridge’s current wide role is likely to continue.

Re: Would you have Sturridge back?

yep, whether he'd be happy not playing every game down the middle is a different story

Yes.

Don't know why he's unhappy playing wide in a front three, he seems to be pretty good at it.

Yes, I think he'd be a good option for us. Can forget the furore over when he left. Shame he wasn't persuaded to stay to be honest, but fair play he's done ok for himself.

I can't see Chelsea letting him go for under £10m though, so Arsenal won't be signing him most likely.

Yes, one of the two players that I wish we never got rid off and would take back in an instant.

The other is Bellamy.

In a heartbeat, another valid reason as to why Hughes should have went on the same day of the takeover.

Re: Would you have Sturridge back?

the fee for Sturridge was decided by a tribunal. The Professional Football Compensation Committee decided on 14 January 2010, that Chelsea would pay an initial fee of £3.5 million with additional payments of £500,000 after each of 10, 20, 30 and 40 first-team competitive appearances. There will also be a further payment of £1 million if the player makes a full international appearance, and Manchester City will receive 15 percent of any sell-on fee if Sturridge is transferred.

so far that would mean we have recieved £5.5m from inital and appearances, then I think he has played for England since (?!) so £6.5m, offer them £10m (and we'll get 15% back... so will only pay £2m for him... easy!
