Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is set to extend his stay at Anfield by signing a new long-term contract extension, according to reports.
The 29-year-olds existing deal is due to expire at the end of the season but the Jurgen Klopp now wants the club to offer him fresh terms following a bright start to the season.
Sturridges four goals in nine appearances so far, including two in a week against Chelsea, has seen him force his way into the Liverpool managers plans for the season.
According to The Sun, Liverpool will offer the striker an extension on his current £140,000-a-week contract with the deal set to be structured on his appearances following consistent injury issues in recent seasons.
