Daniel Sturridge fully focused on Chelsea
Chelsea FC striker Dabiel Sturridge has said that he is fully focused on all things Chelsea at the moment and is not paying any attention to the England set up.
The youngster spent last season loan at Bolton Wanderers and scored enough goals to be merited with a comeback to the Chelsea squad with Andre Villas-Boas. Since arriving back at Stamford Bridge though he has had to miss out on the first three league games due to a red card he received for the Reebok side, however, after the suspension he has found some opportunities within the side albeit more on the right side of attack than in his natural central role.
Sturridge though wants to focus fully on the West London club but admits it would be great to get the England call up.
“If England comes and I play for England then great, but I am not really worried about playing for England, it is not something I am really stressing about. My main focus is to play for Chelsea every week and if I can do that then I am happy.”
The Chelsea striker added:
“It has been a long time that I have been playing at Chelsea now and I have not been playing regularly so for me the most important thing is to be playing regularly. I could play a lot better than I am and I am getting used to the position out wide. I enjoy playing there.”
Meanwhile, Sturridge’s team mate, Ashley Cole claims that the 22 year old is one the toughest players to come up against in training.
“He is one of the hardest guys to mark in training because of the speed he plays at, he can go inside and outside and he is strong.”
Cole also believes that Sturridge has what it takes to be in the England squad for next years European Championships.
“He should have been in the last England squad and if he keeps doing what he is doing he will be in the squad for Euro 2012, no problem at all.”
