Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge should be the first name on the team sheet... claims Graeme Souness after 4-0 win against West Ham: 'There are few players who possess his ability'

When fit, Daniel Sturridge should be the first name on the LIverpoool team-sheet, Graeme Souness has claimed in the wake of Liverpool's 4-0 win over West Ham.

Starting his first match since January, the England striker scored the opening goal at the London Stadium as Liverpool cemented their place in the top four ahead of their final game of the season with Middlesbrough.

The forward has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer, as injuries continue to limit his first-team opportunities. And after Sturridge's goal-scoring display on Sunday, Souness hailed the forward's abilities in front of goal but bemoaned his inability to stay healthy.
