The No.15 has already scored four times in his eight appearances so far in 2018-19, including a stunning 89th-minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge last weekend that was voted the Reds’ Goal of the Month in September.
Sturridge himself discussed his satisfaction with his renewed opportunity at Anfield in a wide-ranging interview this week – and Fowler is a big fan of the 29-year-old’s talent.
“Fit and well, Daniel Sturridge is as good as any striker in the Premier League, he really is,” the Liverpool legend said on the latest episode of LFC Later.

“When you’re physically fit and know you can trust your body, there’s nothing like it.”
