Sturridge Chelsea exit hastened by Falcao rumours

With the possible arrival of Radamel Falcao in January, it seems there's no room in Chelsea's forward dimension for Daniel Sturridge. Reports in Tuesday's press suggest that the 23-year-old could be leaving Stamford Bridge when the transfer window re-opens. Sturridge has not started a Premier League game this season. And with Fernando Torres Roberto Di Matteo's preferred central striker, competition for places in the Blues' attack is fierce. The arrivals of Oscar, Eden Hazard and Victor Moses haven't helped, either. And should a move for Falcao materialise, that may prompt Sturridge to find a new club by the turn of the year. Sturridge had been linked with Liverpool this summer but a move broke down on transfer deadline day. But Brendan Rodgers has renewed his interest in Sturridge as he attempts to solve his striker crisis at Anfield - the Reds are believed to be preparing a 15 million-pound bid. But they face competition from Tottenham, with former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas reportedly keen on bringing Sturridge to White Hart Lane.. Another player whose Chelsea career may be coming to a close is Florent Malouda. After training with the under-21s this season, the outcast midfielder may be set for a move to Santos. But moving to the Brazilian club has already had its difficulties - with manager Muricy Ramalho describing the Frenchman's wage demands as "absurd" and "crazy".
