British forward Daniel Sturridge arrived at Chelsea as a 20-year-old from Manchester City for an initial fee of £3.5 million back in 2010. Lasting only three seasons at the club and playing largely out of position, he went on to score 13 goals in 63 Premier League appearances.

In his loan spell at Bolton Wanderers, he scored eight goals in just 12 appearances playing as a forward. However, Abramovich let him leave as he joined Liverpool on a permanent deal in the 2013 winter transfer window for a fee of £12 million.

Since joining the Merseyside club, Sturridge has scored 43 goals in 76 league appearances, despite the fact that his career has been marred by injuries. It would be fair to assume that he does not miss Stamford Bridge at all.
