Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has had terrible luck with injuries over the past few years.
A report from the Mirror this morning claims that Reds boss Jürgen Klopp has finally run out of patience with Daniel Sturridge, and wants to replace the England international with Borussia Dortmund superstar Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is valued at a staggering £70 million by the Bundesliga outfit.

The 27-year-old striker has played a peripheral role in Liverpool’s campaign so far this term, making just five Premier League starts for Klopp’s men.

And the Mirror claim that the German is ready to sanction the sale of Sturridge, with Aubameyang thought to be his primary target as a replacement.
However, if a move for the Gabon international fails to materialise, the Mirror believe that Klopp will target Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams.
Liverpool have scored just five goals in their last seven outings in all competitions, so the addition of someone of Aubameyang’s quality would be a welcome one.
