Jurgen Klopp 'to reject Daniel Sturridge interest'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly set to reject any interest in forward Daniel Sturridge this summer.

Sturridge spent the second half of last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, but was restricted to just six appearances due to his injury struggles.

According to The Telegraph, Klopp sees the 28-year-old as part of his first-team plans for next season and will give him one last chance to prove his worth in Merseyside.

The report adds that there are no talks in place to extend Sturridge's current £120,000-a-week contract, which expires next summer.

Sturridge joined Liverpool from Chelsea in 2013, netting 48 goals in 98 appearances.
