Daniel Sturridge has reassured any clubs potentially interested in his services that he is 'fitter than a fiddle' and 'more motivated than ever before'.

The former Liverpool star and England international has just celebrated his 32nd birthday and has now reached the 18 month mark without a club, following a brief spell in Turkey.

Sturridge, who has 119 career goals to his name, shows no sign of wanting to retire, with his latest social media post coming across as a come-and-get-me plea to clubs who are in need of a striker.

On Wednesday, while away on holiday, Sturridge uploaded three images of himself taking in the sun's rays and looking healthy and well.

Captioning the shots, he wrote: 'Year 32. More motivated than I've ever been in my life to be successful. Older, wiser and fit as a fiddle. God is good.

'Thanks everyone for the birthday messages. Means a lot.'

A series of his former Liverpool team-mates were quick to comment and offer their congratulations, including Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Georginio Wijnaldum and Dejan Lovren.
