Daniel Sturridge is set for a summer exit from Chelsea, with the striker blaming the Blues for the reason he didn’t make England’s Euro 2012 squad.
The front-man has blamed Roberto Di Matteo for a lack of first-team action as to why he didn’t make Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad for the tournament.
Sturridge was a key member of Andre Villas-Boas’ side when the Portuguese tactician initially arrived, but Di Matteo has opted for Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres and Salomon Kalou in his front-line.
And the summer arrival of Eden Hazard and Marko Marin is likely to hinder his impact on the starting XI.
A deal for FC Porto striker Hulk is also reported to be in the pipeline which will push Sturridge further down the pecking order.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and former club Manchester City have all been linked with a move for the 22-year-old, whose contract expires in June 2014.
