Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers previously worked with Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge at Anfield.

According to the Daily Mirror, Liverpool are set to allow Daniel Sturridge to leave Anfield this summer, although Leicester City’s interest in him is lessening.

Sturridge appeared to be heading for the exit door at Liverpool last summer, but he impressed over pre-season and in the early months of the campaign.

However, as the season has progressed, Sturridge has slipped further down the pecking order – with Divock Origi now seemingly ahead of him, as well as Roberto Firmino.

Sturridge is now set to be given a move by Jurgen Klopp, but Leicester are not as keen as they once were.

Brendan Rodgers Leicester side were said to be eager to bring Sturridge to the King Power Stadium.

However, it seems that the Foxes are having second thoughts over any move now.

Leicester do have Jamie Vardy in brilliant form, as well as Kelechi Iheanacho, who they are still hoping can develop into a prolific striker for them.

Sturridge is currently on a £130,000-a-week contract at Liverpool (Sportac), but he may have to take a pay cut if he is to get a move in the summer.
