Daniel Sturridge will spend the rest of the season at West Brom.
Having hardly featured for Liverpool this season, the striker has completed a loan switch to The Hawthorns as he seeks to force his way into Gareth Southgate’s England squad for this summer’s World Cup. He rejected the opportunity to join Newcastle in a similar deal.
His move to West Brom comes barely 48 hours after the Midlands club knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup with a surprise 3-2 victory at Anfield – presenting (*checks spelling carefully*) Grzegorz Krychowiak with the opportunity to crack the obvious joke…
The Polish midfielder, also a loanee at The Baggies after signing a season-long deal from Paris Saint-Germain, was quick to reply to the tweet confirming that Sturridge’s loan deal had been finalised.
‘If you can’t beat us, join us,’ he tweeted, throwing in a few laughing-face emojis in there for good measure.
Of course he did.
If You Can't Beat Us, Join Us 😏😏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂#EmiratesFACup #liverpool #LIVWBA

Despite hardly appearing for Jürgen Klopp’s side during this campaign, some Liverpool supporters have questioned the decision to allow both Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho to leave the club – both for different reasons – without bringing in any players to bolster their attacking options.
🎥 "This is the right fit."@DanielSturridge is glad to be a Baggie.
