Bilic Denies West Ham Make Bid For Daniel Sturridge

Published 21st Jan 2016

West Ham Slaven Bilic has denied making a move for Daniel Sturridge

The Hammers boss has dismissed speculation that Sturridge who has only played for the Reds six times this season is poised to make a move to East London.

He said: "That is only a rumour and there is nothing behind it,"

"I am not talking about who we want - Daniel Sturridge is a big player and a big name - but that is only paper talk."

Sturridge has not trained with the Liverpool squad in six weeks.

But when it was put to Bilic that Sturridge, 26, may become available, the West Ham boss replied:

"What if? I would take Lionel Messi also, but it is only an 'if' so there is nothing in it."
