Sheffield United considering move for former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge after Rhian Brewster and Folarin Balogun pursuits stall

Sheffield United are considering a move for free agent Daniel Sturridge, according to reports.

The former Liverpool striker has not played since mutually agreeing to terminate his Trabzonspor contract as he was handed a four-month ban from football for breaking betting rules in March.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is looking to sign a striker, but has seen moves stall for Liverpool and Arsenal starlets Rhian Brewster and Folarin Balogun, respectively.

The Mail claim Wilder is weighing up a move for Sturridge, who has scored 105 in 306 appearances in spells with Man City, Chelsea, Bolton, Liverpool and West Brom.

With his worldwide football ban over, the 31-year-old is keeping fit by training with non-league club Kidsgrove Athletic.

Last month, Sturridge admitted a return to the Premier League would be his first choice.
