Steven Gerrard: 'Daniel Sturridge can be star of the World Cup'

Steven Gerrard believes that Daniel Sturridge can star for England at the World Cup this summer.

England captain Steven Gerrard has tipped Liverpool teammate Daniel Sturridge to be one of the stars of the World Cup this summer.

Sturridge scored the only goal of the game as England beat Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday, and Gerrard believes that the striker can continue his impressive form when the squad arrive in Brazil.

"Daniel's got the world at his feet and he can be whatever he wants to be if he keeps working hard," Gerrard told reporters.

"His form has been scintillating this season and, to see him close up in training, I see what qualities he's got.

"Everyone will be looking for [Luis] Suarez, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, the usual suspects to stand up and be the star of the tournament. But Daniel is certain capable of starring at this World Cup."

Sturridge has scored 12 goals in his previous 12 games in all competitions.
