Chelsea’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 did.
Sturridge has gone on to admit that he would one day like to play as an all out striker, since he feels that playing on the wing is not really doing him justice any longer.
The forward has managed to score only nine goals this season and that tally is rather low by the players standards.
However, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international has admitted that he is looking to try and recreate the form and adaptability that Thierry Henry showed when he moved to Arsenal.
The Gunners legend used to play as a winger for Juventus, but Arsene Wenger converted him into a striker following his move to the Emirates. Once that did happen, Henry went on to become one of the most lethal strikers in the world and currently holds the
record for the most goals scored the North London club.
When talking about how he wishes to follow in the footsteps of Henry and evolve his game, Sturridge is quoted to have said: “I definitely think playing out wide will improve me”
“Henry played wide for Juventus and then went to Arsenal and played as a centre forward.
“Wenger knew he was a centre forward before he joined, and when he went there his game went up so high.”
"He’s an example of one player I look at and think when I get back in the middle — and it’s only a matter of time — then I will be a lot better than previously.”
“Fitness-wise it helps you so much playing on the wing as it’s a completely different http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 — you do a lot more runs than you do up front."
Sturridge has already proven that he is more than capable of scoring goals, when given the opportunity. That mixed with his natural pace and urge to be in the right place at the right time is bound to be a massive asset on his way to becoming a lethal striker.
It is now a wait to see just how the player develops in the near future.
