# Sturridge lifts lid on his relationship with Klopp

Daniel Sturridge has lifted the lid on his relationship with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp amid ongoing speculation over his future at Anfield.

The former Chelsea and Manchester City forward will see his contract on Merseyside expire at the end of the season, and having appeared in just six Premier League games this season, his future looks unclear.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1Extra, as quoted by the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/daniel-sturridge-lifts-lid-relationship-15729394), Sturridge was full of praise for the German, claiming he has always tried to get the best out of his players. Sturridge said:

He’s cool. He’s passionate, he tries to get the best out of everybody. We’ve been on the up since he’s come to the club and we hope it will be a successful season for us.

Sturridge also shared his desire to win his first bit of silverware for the Reds before his possible departure, however he refused to admit he was looking beyond the next game. Sturridge continued:

> I ain’t gassing anybody up. I ain’t saying anything that’s going to incriminate me to make me look like the bad guy or the good guy. There’s a lot of football to be played.

> There’s a great vibe. It’s one game at a time, that’s the truth at the end of the day. There’s a lot of football to be played, anything can happen, we’re just focusing on ourselves and continuing to put our best foot forward, working hard and we’ll see where it takes us in the end.

> Hopefully this year will be our year but we’ve got to stay focused, not get too excited because there’s a lot of football to be played.
