Ranking Liverpool’s 6 best January signings ever

#5 Daniel Sturridge

Sturridge still retains his ability to score goals

One of the only two active-Liverpool players on this list, Daniel Sturridge would have been higher up only if his career hadn’t been ravaged by injuries.

Signed for a mere £12 million from Chelsea in 2013, Sturridge hit the ground running as he ended up with 11 goals in just 16 games that season. What we witnessed from the Englishman in the following season was nothing short of sensational.

Sturridge, alongside Suarez and Sterling, led the charge for the 2013/14 Premier League title before a fatal ‘Gerrard slip’ ended their aspirations.

The youngster finished as the second highest scorer in the league with 21 goals in 29 appearances, only behind teammate Luis Suarez in the race for the Golden Boot.

That was as good as it got for the Englishman, as he roughly averaged 13 league games per season since the dramatic 2013/14 season.

With reports suggesting that Sturridge could leave in the summer once his contract expires, Liverpool fans will be left wondering what could have been if he had managed to stay fit more often.

Thus, an injury-ravaged career means he finds himself fifth on this list.
