Anyone know what the French for ‘crocked hamstring’ is?
It’s a phrase that the medical team at PSG could get used according to one of the more bizarre transfer rumours doing the rounds this morning.
The French champions-elect are set to lose not one, but two key strikers this summer, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edison Cavani both facing the exit door.
The Swede is out of contract, while Cavani is likely to end up in the Premier League, perhaps at Arsenal.
That all means a mighty big hole up front, and according to The Sun this morning, a certain Liverpool striker is being lined as the club’s key summer signing.
The newspaper reports that Daniel Sturridge could be part of a possible £50million pound deal to take him Ligue 1 this summer, which would include a £45million transfer, and a £5million bonus.
Sturridge is still trying to regain his sharpness for Liverpool after once again missing half the season with a succession of injuries, the second successive club term when the England frontman was found missing in action for the Merseysiders.
However with Jurgen Klopp set to allow Christian Benteke the door this summer it would seem bizarre if the club were also to allow Sturridge leave, considering Divock Origi and Danny Ings would then be the club’s front-line strikers.
The newspaper reports that PSG representatives will be in London next week to observe Sturridge if he features for England in their friendly with Holland next Tuesday.
Sturridge has been substituted with around 20 minutes to go in Liverpool’s last two games, the 3-2 loss to Southampton and the 1-1 draw with Manchester United, which is understood to have left him furious with Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool fans this morning at least seem happy enough to take the money and run.
