Sturridge will fight for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge will fight for a first team spot at Stamford Bridge, despite reports of interest from several other Premier League clubs.

Sturridge is happy to stay with the Blues for the coming season.

When asked if he would like to quit Stamford Bridge, Sturridge said: "Never any doubt.

"I'm here training in pre-season and looking forward to the start of the new season, where I can show everybody what I am capable of doing.

"It is the same in every team around the world. Every striker has got to fight for their place and it is no different here.

"It is a thing every striker has got to be prepared to do. There are no guarantees in football at any club.

"It doesn't matter whether you are a star or not a star, you have to show the manager what you are capable of doing. Every season is a new season.

"The past is the past, in my opinion, so everyone has got to fight for their place."
