England star Sturridge, 26, is growing increasingly unhappy at Anfield after continued question marks over his fitness and pain threshold.

Liverpool - who bought Sturridge for £12million from Chelsea three years go - rate the player highly.

But Kop boss Jurgen Klopp will consider selling the former Manchester City forward for around £30m because of his constant injury problems.

Sturridge, despite being sidelined so often, has scored 37 goals in 60 games for the Reds.

Other Premier League sides such as Arsenal are also interested but Liverpool would be reluctant to sell to top-six rivals.

Meanwhile, Klopp was LUCKY he failed to sign Samba ace Alex Teixeira, according to former Liverpool star Jan Molby.

Klopp was said to be keen on taking the attacker, 26, from Shakhtar Donetsk during last month's transfer window. But Chinese Super League outfit Jiangsu Suning stunned football by snapping up the talented Brazilian for £38m.

Now ex-Denmark midfielder Molby has backed Klopp for not splashing the cash on a player who he claims lacks ambition.

He said: "He ended up in China, what does that say about the player's ambition?"
