“I’m staying focused on right now. You’ve got to live in the present, you can never live in the future,” he said, as quoted by TeamTalk.
“I’ve been at Liverpool a long time and I’m happy too. I want to try and help bring the team some success, to win a trophy with them would be amazing.
Sturridge has been a peripheral figure at Anfield in recent years who has been utilised mainly for cup competitions or as an impact substitute.
This campaign he has featured 18 times, albeit only two coming as Premier League starts, contributing four goals in all competitions as Liverpool hold a four point lead over Manchester City at the league's summit.
