England boss Roy Hodgson believes that Daniel Sturridge is finally living up to his potential since his move to Liverpool.

England manager Roy Hodgson believes that Daniel Sturridge is finally producing the form that he is capable of since his move to Liverpool.

The 23-year-old scored 11 goals in just 16 appearances for the Reds in the back half of last season, following his £12m move from Chelsea in January.

Hodgson told reporters: "Daniel has, for many years, been an enormous talent. Chelsea paid a lot of money for him from Manchester City before he'd really properly broken into their team.

"He's been more of a regular at Liverpool. He's grown in confidence and we're seeing all the qualities we've always known he had. Daniel's now showing them week after week. He's very confident at the moment.

"We're hoping he comes in and brings us something with his incredible pace and footwork and technical ability to help us win matches."

Sturridge has played five times for the Three Lions and has netted one goal.
