Picture From The FA.com
Man City and England Youth striker Daniel Sturridge is a self-confessed Arsenal fan.
The 18 year old who scored City’s goal in the 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United on Sunday is reportedly a long term target of Arsenal, as well as Chelsea and Spanish giants Barcelona.
He attracted interest after his incredible performances for Manchester City’s Under 18’s on their way to the FA Youth Cup Final, scoring two stunning long range efforts in the second leg against Liverpool but couldn’t stop them going out 3-2 on aggregate.
Former club Coventry will get 10 per cent of any future transfer fee should he leave Manchester City.
Danny was sponsored by Adidas. when he was just 13 and won Match magazine’s ‘Annual 2007’ the ‘Next Big Big Thing’ in British football award. only the second player to earn this title following in the footsteps of his former England Youth strike-partner and friend, Theo Walcott.
He has also been in the England Under 18 squad along with young Gunners Kieran Gibbs and Henri Lansbury.

I first saw Daniel Sturridge play for England U16’s against the Welsh U16’s when he was just 14 years old and he scored one of the best goals i have ever seen, and ever since then i have kept an eye out for him, and i personally think that he is the best young natural goal scorer we being England have produced since Michael Owen burst on the scene with a goal against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park in 1997, and he is a definite England striker/football player of the future IMO
Both Micah Richards and Sturridge are boyhood Arsenal fans. Richards would make a great central defensive partnership with Toure and is surely future Arsenal captain material.Be a shame to let players of this quality who have Arsenal in their blood go to likes of Chelsea. We can offer them instant opportunity to play top teams in Europe, compete for title and earn a lot more than the paltry sum City pay them.Let richards run out his contract at City and join us on a Bosman free
How about some news on Fran Merida? Is he getting games in Spain and, if so, how’s he doing?
Great site. Thanks for the updates!
Cheers.
I went to school with him at congleton high school between 2005-2006, he was absolutely brilliant, i even had the joy of tackling him once, and i say, ONCE. One time whilst playing on the school team he got past five nantwhich players then scored from about 25 yards out, i was amazing, and yes its true, dan is a self confessed arsenal fan.
