Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed his delight at Daniel Sturridge's start to his Reds career.
The 23-year-old joined the Merseysiders from Chelsea for £12m at the beginning of the month, and scored on his debut for the club during their 2-1 win over Mansfield Town in the FA Cup third round.
The striker also netted on his first Premier League match for the side as they lost 2-1 to Manchester United, and Rodgers believes that Sturridge will prove to be a hit at Anfield.
"He's been great since he has come in. He's only been here a short time and he's not fully fit yet but you can see he's going to get lots of goals in this team," said Rodgers.
"He looks a real threat. When he's in on the shoulder you always think he's going to score.
"You look at his goal. It was a terrific hit by Steven Gerrard, David De Gea palmed it out, and he reads it and gets the finish. That put us back into the game at 2-1 and from that moment it looked like it was only going to be us who got the next goal."
Liverpool host Norwich City in their next game on Saturday.
