West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has admitted he would be interested in signing Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge in January.
The England international is out of favour at Anfield and while Jurgen Klopp insists Sturridge isn’t for sale, the Reds could cash in on the attacking in the New Year.
West Ham are one of a number of Premier League teams rumoured to be keen on Sturridge and Bilic has heightened suggestion that the Hammers could move for the Liverpool man next month.
"He's one of the biggest talents, he's a great player. The talent is there, the touch, the finishing, everything is great,” Bilic is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
“The only thing that has stopped him being a regular for club and country are the injuries.
"He's just a player that has been linked with us, basically, and we've been linked with almost every player.
"We're always there in contention. Most of the time it's absolutely not true, 95 per cent of the time.
"But you're asking me about Sturridge and I have no problem about that. All the clubs are thinking about him because he is that kind of player.
"I don't know his work rate, I don't know his dedication to his job or whatever but unfortunately for England and for Liverpool and especially for him he's injured. That's his problem."
