Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has insisted that he is not interested in how many goals he scores, but in securing a top-four finish this season.

The 23-year-old, who joined from Chelsea at the start of the transfer window, scored his third goal in three games as Liverpool beat Norwich City 5-0 yesterday.

"I am not interested in how many goals I score, I am interested in where we finish as a team," he told the club's official website.

"The main aim for me is to get us into the top four and play Champions League football next season. It's what everybody wants.

"That's a realistic target for us and I don't see why we can't get there."

Liverpool's win yesterday took them up to seventh in the Premier League, level on points with Arsenal, who have two games in hand.
