Daniel Sturridge has released an emotional statement which would move every Liverpool fan to tears.
Daniel Sturridge will run down his contract and will officially become a free agent on July 1. The English striker was one of the best on his day, but injuries restricted himself to limited appearances for the past few years.
The 29-year-old scored 68 goals and assisted 26 times in 160 games for the Reds in all competitions. He has barely played this season, but he will be remembered for that late strike against Chelsea and opening the score for Liverpool in the Champions League this season.
As he leaves the club, he has written an emotional letter to the whole club and fans, thanking for their enormous contributions over the last few years.
It read:
“What can I say…
It’s been one hell of a ride at this beautiful club. We were together for 7 seasons and took a lil break in between.
We had a lot of high and lows together but through it all remained together knowing that one day we’d have to break up. That time is now…..
I wanna say to the fans I love y’all. You made me feel so welcome and embraced me with open arms. The Sturridge dance became famous at Anfield and I’ll never forget the first time I did it in front of the Kop.
To my team mates old and new thank you for the memories the banter was unreal. You all played a part in making me the man I am today. This isn’t a good bye cause Lord knows we’ll stay in touch no matter where I am so speak soon. To the current group of players just letting you know that Sturr crazy sauces will still be available next season so don’t stress yourselves out the lucky sauce will be back 😂😎

He came as a Chelsea flop and leaves as a Champions League winner.
