[VIDEO] Daniel Sturridge in talks with MLS club

Former Liverpool striker, Daniel Sturridge reportedly in talks with Major League Soccer side DC United and Inter Miami.

The 30-year-old is currently a free agent after terminating his contract with Trabzonspor due to a four-month ban from all football-related activities after being found guilty of breaching betting rules.

In a podcast with Oxford Union last week, Sturridge said he is already training in United States.

“I think firstly, it is about going back to doing what I love, which is playing football. That’s the most important thing,” Sturridge said.

“I love the game; I miss the game. I can’t wait to get out there and help my team win games, score goals and get assists.

“That’s my main focus. I am training in America at the moment. I am getting my body right and getting in good shape. I will be ready and raring to go when my ban is up. I am eagerly awaiting that. So I am really excited about that and it being over with and getting on with it.”

Inter Miami are also considering to sign Chelsea’s soon-to-be out of contract Pedro.

DC United recently lost Wayne Rooney who joined Derby County as player-manager and Sturridge would be a direct replacement.
