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.
