Daniel Sturridge is ready to step up and fill the sizeable gap left by Luis Suárez in the Liverpool attack and says his team-mates need to do likewise as they begin life without the prolific Uruguayan.
Suárez finished as Liverpool’s leading scorer in each of his three seasons at Anfield, including netting 31 goals in the Premier League during his side’s second-place finish in the last campaign.
However, Brendan Rodgers’ men will not be able to rely on Suárez anymore after the 27-year-old was sold to Barcelona for a club-record £75m this summer, but Sturridge insists there is more than enough talent at Liverpool to ensure the club continue moving forward.

The 24-year-old, who was second to Suárez in the Premier League scoring charts last season with 21 goals, said: “It was a unique partnership, and I wish Luis all the best. We shared some good times together. We created history with our goals and became the most successful Liverpool partnership in one season.
“But in terms of next season for the goals, I’ll step up myself and everyone has to. It’s everyone’s job to do that, the new boys who have come in as well as the players who have been there all season. We will move forward as a team.”
