Daniel Sturridge scored for Liverpool this past weekend.
Sturridge featured for Liverpool in their Premier League game against West Ham United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The former Chelsea and Manchester City striker did not start the match, but the England international came on as a substitute in the 87th minute.
The 28-year-old scored moments after coming on, as Jurgen Klopp’s side got the better of the Hammers 4-0 with ease.
Sturridge, who was injured during his loan spell at West Bromwich Albion during the second half of last season as the Baggies got relegated to the Championship, is now fully fit and seems raring to go.
Arsenal legend Wright has revealed what Liverpool great and former England international striker Fowler has told him about Sturridge.
Wright said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:30pm, August 13, 2018): “I was with Robbie Fowler yesterday. We had a really good chat about it. And he says, what he believes has happened is that he (Sturridge) has realised where he is and the club he is at and how brilliant it is there.
“And anybody can tell you, when you leave Arsenal, when you leave a big club like that, something happens, something drops. The standard drops, you go to a different place, it’s not the same.
“When you’re at a club like the stature of Liverpool, then you go to West Brom, you see West Brom go down, I bet he has come back and he has thought: ‘You know something, I am at a magnificent club here. Where am I going to go from here?’ Honestly, where is Daniel Sturridge going to go from Liverpool right now?”
Fighting for a place
Although Sturridge is a very good striker and will be an asset at Liverpool if he stays fit, the Englishman will have to fight for his place in the team.
It is hard to see the striker establish himself as a regular in manager Klopp’s starting lineup anytime soon.
