Sturridge Signs For Chelsea?

We’ve been linked with Man City’s Daniel Sturridge since March, with some areas of the press claiming we’d actually signed him earlier this month. Apparently though, yesterday we really did sign the 19 year old on a four year deal.

The young forward’s contract at City comes to an end this month but because he’s under 24 he can’t leave on a free transfer. Not ideal then that City are looking for a compensation package in the region of £10million whilst Chelsea have a figure closer to £3million in mind. So, it looks as if the exact amount will have to be decided via a tribunal, although it’s thought it’ll be nearer the £5million mark, with a few add-ons to sweeten City’s blow.

Sturridge is certainly a decent prospect and was voted City’s Young Player of The Season for 2008/09, with four goals and three assists from his 16 appearances. As to whether or not we’ll pay him the £55,000 a week he was rumoured to demand of City, remains to be seen.
