Sturridge 'best' as central striker

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has hinted new signing Daniel Sturridge will be given a central striking role at Liverpool.

The 23-year-old completed his move from Chelsea on Wednesday and looks set to be given the central role ahead of Luis Suarez, who has scored 15 goals in the Barclays Premier League this season.

"His best position is as a central striker," Rodgers, quoted in various newspapers, said of Sturridge. "I have said 4-3-3 will become richer because of the type of players and there is not one way to play 4-3-3."
