West Brom Sign Daniel Sturridge on Loan

West Brom have signed Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge on loan for the rest of the season.

The Baggies’ Premier League rivals Newcastle and Serie A side Inter Milan were keen on the 28-year-old.

Sturridge has scored 74 Premier League goals in 114 starts and also netted 27 times in cup competitions, but has started only five games this season.

“This is a big coup for us. He has a fantastic talent,” said West Brom boss Alan Pardew.

Birmingham-born Sturridge said: “I’ve got friends here I’ve played with before. The manager spoke very well, the challenge with the team and the style of play – I just felt this was the right fit for me.”
