Arsenal set to move for unhappy Chelsea star Sturridge

08 February 2012 09:31
Chelsea face a battle to keep hold of top-scorer Daniel Sturridge, with Arsenal showing a major interest in the young forward.

Sturridge has scored 10 goals for Chelsea so far this season, but sources close to the player claim he is unhappy at being played on the wing by Andre Villas-Boas.

According to a report in The Daily Mail, Arsenal will take advantage of his situation at Stamford Bridge and make a bid for him in the summer.

Sturridge wants to negotiate an improved deal, yet Chelsea are unwilling to do so as he still has two-and-a-half years left on his contract.

With Chelsea rumoured to be interested in bringing in a new forward in the summer, his chances of playing in his preferred position seem unlikely.
