EXCLUSIVE: Sturridge's £12m Liverpool switch hits skids after row over agents fees

Moving on: Sturridge has been told he can leave Chelsea

Daniel Sturridge's £12million move to Liverpool has hit a stumbling block due to a wrangle over agents fees.
Liverpool are stamping down on the money they pay agents after recently published figures showed their outlay since 2008-09 has been a staggering £31.3million - only Chelsea (£31.8m) and Manchester City (£39.02m) have paid more in the same period.

Liverpool had hoped that Sturridge - who has been told he can leave Chelsea after being left out of their squad for the Club World Cup - would have been in a position to complete a medical on Wednesday so that his switch from Stamford Bridge would be finalised in time for him to be unveiled on January 1.

However, the medical never took place as problems emerged in the discussions between Chelsea and Sturridge's advisors over the terms of his departure.


England international: But Sturridge can't find a way into the Chelsea side

There have also been some minor issues with Liverpool and Sturridge's advisors.

Though Liverpool remain confident the deal will eventually go through, manager Brendan Rodgers has other alternatives to turn to if discussions with Sturridge break down beyond repair.

Kevin Gamiero - a France international who is currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain - would be a potential target to come in on loan. The 25-year-old has not featured a great deal for PSG.

There are no such concerns, however, over Tom Ince's impending return from Blackpool. He should officially become a Liverpool player when the transfer window opens.

Paul if you can get another good striker, Sturridge is not bad to have to be coming off the bench or a backup striker.

Chelsea striker is expected at Anfield for the Sunderland game and could make his debut in the FA Cup on Sunday PLUS Ince latest




Man for Mansfield: Sturridge could make his Liverpool debut in the FA CupChris Brunskill

Daniel Sturridge is poised to become the first big mover of the transfer widow when he joins Liverpool for £12million.
The Reds are now finalising the deal, although it will not be done in time for Sturridge to make his debut against Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday night.
However, the former Manchester City hitman is expected to be at the game, and could be available for Sunday’s FA Cup tie at Mansfield.
Brendan Rodgers has captured Sturridge, who he knows him from his days at Chelsea, after pursuing him for most of his six-month Liverpool reign.
The Reds boss failed to land him in the summer but Sturridge rejected a loan move, claiming he wanted to leave Stamford Bridge permanently.
Rodgers has finally landed the 23-year-old after weeks of protracted talks and Liverpool threatened to pull out of the deal over agents’ demands.
The two clubs agreed a fee before Christmas and the player underwent a medical on Merseyside.
Rodgers feels Sturridge, who has scored two goals in 12 Chelsea appearances this season, can help Luis Suarez up front and he has agreed a three-and-a-half year deal.
Chelsea are believed to be giving him a pay-off to top up his wages to £80,000-a-week.
Rodgers hopes Thomas Ince will follow Sturridge into Anfield, and talks with Blackpool over his £6million return are well advanced.
Winger Ince will return to Liverpool 18 months after being sold by Kenny Dalglish and the Reds will pay Blackpool £4m because they had a 35 per cent sell-on clause inserted into his contract.
