Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge signs a three year deal with Trabzonspor and is now officially a player of the Turkish side.
Daniel Sturridge has turned down interest from across Europe and the US to seal a move to Turkish side Trabzonspor after a six-and-a-half-year spell at Liverpool.
Sturridge bid farewell to Anfield after his contract came to a close at the end of last season following 160 appearances and 68 goals.
The England international joined the Reds in 2013 from Chelsea, and while his first full season at the club saw him hit prolific heights alongside Luis Suarez, much of his career at the club was marred by a torrid run of injury.
Even when fit, the 29-year-old remained on the periphery of Jurgen Klopp’s plans with Liverpool’s attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane regularly locking up the positions up front.
Sturridge has put pen to paper on an initial three-year deal at Super Lig side Trabzonspor, with confirmation of his move made public by the club on Wednesday.
He will join former Chelsea team-mate John Obi Mikel and go head to head with Alexander Sorloth, who is on loan from Crystal Palace.
