Chelsea fear Daniel Sturridge will quit

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge is considering his future at the club, according to The Sun.

The 22-year-old has just over a year left on his current contract and there appears to be a genuine concern inside the club that he will not sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge.

"Daniel will be distraught if Chelsea finish outside the top four – he's desperate to prove himself at the highest level and that means he wants Champions League football, not Europa League," said a close friend of the striker.

Sturridge joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2009.
