Former Liverpool Daniel Sturridge Makes Indonesian Football!

JAKARTA The former England national team striker, Daniel Sturridge, is in the target of three Indonesian League 1 giant clubs. They are ready to bring the player in the nearest summer transfer window.

The three interested Indonesian clubs are Persija (Jakarta), Persebaya (Surabaya), and Dewa United (South Tangerang). This information was revealed by several sources to British media, Football Insider.

"It is known that Indonesian teams such as Persija Jakarta, Persebaya, and Dewa United have shown an active interest in recruiting the former England international player," the report said.

Sturridge's 16-year career in football has been haunted by various injuries. The 33-year-old then has the status of without a club since being released by the Australian team Perth Glory in June 2022.

"And the move to Indonesia is likely to be the last step for him before he ends his playing career," reads the follow-up to the report.

Sturridge spent most of his football career in England after studying at Manchester City's academy starting in 2003. He also briefly strengthened City's youth team for four years before being promoted to the first team in 2007.

After two years, 32 appearances and six goals for City, Sturridge moved to Chelsea. While in London, he helped the team win the English Premier League 2009/2010, the European Champions League, 2012 and two FA Cup titles.

Sturridge then moved to Liverpool for a transfer value of 12 million in 2013. He spent six years at Anfield and successfully formed an outdoor duet with Luis Suarez in the Reds squad.

However, the injury ultimately slowed Sturridge's development. He even missed the previous 99 games and finally moved to Turkish club Trabzonspor on a three-year contract in 2019.

Unfortunately, there he struggled to get playing time so he only scored seven goals in 16 games. The situation forced him to terminate his contract in March 2020 before stumbling into a football gambling case.
