Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is of the opinion that Daniel Sturridge will only become better over the years.
The striker has been in sublime form since joining the Reds from their Premier League rivals Chelsea in January 2013.

And Rodgers believes Sturridge, who has already scored 29 goals in just 36 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, has a chance of becoming a world-class striker over the next couple of years.
The former Swansea City boss further added that Sturridge will regularly find the back of the net as he is supremely talented, but insisted that the forward is yet to reach his peak as he is just 24 years old.

"He's a natural goalscorer", Rodgers explained to his club’s official site.
"But he's a magnificent talent and I've always said that I think over the course of the next couple of years, he's got the chance to make himself a world-class striker.
"He knows what's required to be a world-class striker; the consistency and the quality you need. He's come into here and maybe he hasn't had that credit because he has consistently done it from the January when arrived.
"He will always get goals because of his talent. The beauty about it is he's still only 24 years of age. He's still got a lot of time before he arrives into his peak.
"That's been one of the highlights for me coming in here, seeing his development, both as a young player and then his maturity as a man. He's only going to get better, which is great."
Sturridge, who is currently Premier League’s joint-second top scorer this season with 15 goals, has nine caps and two goals for England to his name.
